Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.

Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Continental AllSeasonContact?
On the EU tyre label, the Continental AllSeasonContact has wet grip class B to C, depending on the size. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Continental AllSeasonContact on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Continental AllSeasonContact 205/55 R16 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 40 metres (Citroën C3 IV (2024+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on wet grip class B on the EU tyre label.
Is the Continental AllSeasonContact suitable for an Estonian winter?
Better suited to city driving. The Continental AllSeasonContact is an all-season tyre, a compromise between summer and winter. On ice and snow it needs a longer braking distance than a Nordic friction or studded tyre.
Has the Continental AllSeasonContact been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Bild 2022. The Continental AllSeasonContact stopped on wet asphalt from 100 km/h in 48.9 m, ranking 6 of 35 tyres.
What sizes is the Continental AllSeasonContact available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Continental AllSeasonContact in 101 sizes, for example 145/80 R13, 155/65 R14, 165/65 R14, 165/65 R15, 165/70 R14 and 175/55 R15. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi A6 C9 (2025+), Audi Q3 III (2025+) and BMW iX3 NA5 (2025+).
