Product description & features
Winner of the Auto Express All Season Tyre Test 2018, the All Season Contact has outstanding grip in winter conditions thanks to its adaptive all-season compound. The flexibility within the tyre compound ensures excellent performance on snow-covered and wet winter roads.
The All Season Contact also has a reduced risk of aquaplaning due to the rounder body of the tyre stopping the build-up of water in front of the tyre – thus increasing the safety and reliability.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
