Comparison: Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 vs. Continental AllSeasonContact

When you're searching for all-round tyres, two options that may catch your attention are the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 and the Continental AllSeasonContact. Both are products of reputable manufacturers, Yokohama and Continental, respectively. However, in order to make an informed decision, it's crucial to evaluate how they stack up against each other.

The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 is a universal tyre, but it reaches only a 31% rating on our site. Regardless of this, it has certain merits. It secured fifth place in a test of 7 tyres by Autoklub ČR, excelling particularly in comfort and snow acceleration. Yet in Autobild's test of 31 tyres, it ranked a far less impressive 15th position.

In contrast, the Continental AllSeasonContact delivers a superior performance. Not only does it hold a higher rating on our site at 72%, but it also consistently performed well in tests. For instance, Autobild rated it sixth out of 31 tyres, highlighting its proficiency in snow cornering, snow traction, and low rolling resistance. But its supremacy was most stark in Autoklub ČR's test, where it climbed to the top position out of 7 tyres, demonstrating excellence in aquaplaning - both cross and longitudinal-, as well as comfort.

The AllSeasonContact even received a glowing review on autobild 2020. It was praised as a compelling all-round talent with outstanding winter qualities and exceptional value for money. Its high mileage, fuel-saving rolling resistance, excellent aquaplaning properties, and precise steering behaviour were also commended.

In summary, both tyres have their strengths. However, according to various tests and our own evaluation, the Continental AllSeasonContact is a superior choice overall due to its higher ranking, consistently excellent test scores and commendable characteristics. The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21, although comfortable and performing decently in snow conditions, still lacks behind in overall ratings and tests.
