Continental has become the first manufacturer to win summer, winter and all-season tyre tests in a single year from weekly car magazine, Auto Express.

Its AllSeasonContact has just made its UK test debut and went straight to the top spot in the Auto Express all-season tyre test. Tyres were put through a series of tests ranging from snow handling to performance in wet and dry conditions.

Steve Fowler, editor-in-chief of Auto Express, said: “Just a quick look at the results is enough to show which was the dominant tyre in this test. No matter what the surface, the AllSeasonContact was on the podium. Continental may have come late to the all-season party, but it has made a winning entrance. A great test debut that shows how an all-season tyre should perform.”

The AllSeasonContact is available in 46 sizes for 14 to 20 inch rims.

Tracey Mortimer, Marketing Director at Continental said: “We are thrilled that the AllSeasonContact has taken the top spot in the latest Auto Express tyre test. This latest victory is a significant endorsement for our brand, offering consumers total confidence in our tyres across all seasons.”
