Given 88% 225/40 R18 on a combination of roads for 50 spirited miles
Compared to my previous premium summer tires, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is incredibly quiet and has fantastic grip. I am driving a plug-in hybrid Audi A3, and it became basically silent in fully electric mode. I always had wheelspin when I accelerated a little harder, because of the instant torque of the electric motor. What fascinates me is that this happened with both Bridgestone and Vredestein summer tires in warm, dry weather conditions. This is no longer the case with the ASC2. The rolling resistance also feels much better, the car coasts so effortlessly. Power consumption... Continue reading this review using the link below

Best Review for the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
Given 87% 225/45 R17 on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
I’m going to leave this mini-review here, even though I haven’t tested them in the fall/winter. They have been on the car for about 4 months and 6000 kilometers.

These are absolutely incredible tires, especially considering the fact that they are all season. Dry and wet grip is really good, braking is safe and the handling is really nice.
I think they were the best decision for this car in the family and if they behave good in the winter, be it on snow or at low temperatures, I’ll get them for the other car in the family.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
