Both tyres have received high ratings in our tests, with the Bridgestone model rated at 85% and the Continental model at 90%. They are both designed for all-round performance and are produced in various European countries.
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO is known for its excellent grip in wet and dry conditions, as well as its short dry braking distance and low rolling resistance, which were highlighted in the TyreReviews.com 2022 test. However, its limitations include poor snow performance and high internal noise. In Autoklub ČR's test, it ranked 2nd out of 10 tyres with wet braking being its strong suit. Additionally, Autobild ranked it 3rd out of 11 tyres in their 2022 test, with best features including wet braking, wet circle cornering, dry handling, rolling resistance, snow braking, and comfort.
On the other hand, the Continental AllSeasonContact is praised for its good handling in wet and dry conditions, as well as its impressive snow braking, handling, and low rolling resistance, according to TyreReviews.com 2022 results. However, it also has some downsides, such as high internal noise, weak snow traction and extended dry braking. In Autoklub ČR's test, it also ranked 2nd out of 10 tyres, and Autobild ranked it 7th out of 11 tyres in their 2022 test. Some of its best features include snow braking, snow cornering, wet circle cornering, aquaplaning resistance, wet braking, wet handling, and comfort.
In mutual tests, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO tends to perform better in dry conditions and rolling resistance while the Continental AllSeasonContact is superior in snowy environments and aquaplaning resistance. The difference in their overall rankings is not significant, showing that they are both reliable options for all-season tyres.
Verdict:
In summary, both tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO offers excellent wet and dry grip, low rolling resistance, and short dry braking distances, making it a great option for drivers who face a more mild winter environment. However, its performance on snow is limited.
The Continental AllSeasonContact provides good handling in wet and dry conditions, impressive snow performance, and low rolling resistance. This tyre is recommended for drivers who require reliable performance on snowy roads but should be aware of its extended dry braking and high internal noise.
