Any experience with Continental AllSeason Contact 2 Tyres?

I'm looking for some all season tyres to replace the mid-market non M+S front tyres. They don't inspoire confidence so are time for a change. I'm likely to be driving in the Alps in the winter so I'm looking for some 3 Peaks marked tyres.

The Continentials tick the boxes and are around £100 cheaper than Pirellis or Michelins. They seem to perform well in tyre tests and reviews but I can't find much on here about them. Does anyone have any experience with them?

The first version always got good reviews and while not the best, the newer version it a very good AS tyre.

4 of these went on today, I was going to do 2 but then realised as I was changing the size, it wasn't the best idea. So 4 fresh tyres are now on. Early impressions on the way home, the ride is much better, less wallowing and more certainty on the road. More details to follow.

Quick update on these, they continue to impress me. The traction is great in the wet with all the rain we've had. Confidence inspiring in the dry and positive handling on both country lanes and motorways. As with changing any tyres from worn, mismatches ones to new, matching boots all round they're always going to be better than what was on there but I'd definitely recommend these and would buy them again.

For a more professional review covering more wintery conditions as well as wet and dry, see the Tyre Reviews channel here.

I went from 255/50/20 to 255/55/20 so only a small change. There seems to be a wider choice at that size, hence the change. The speedo reads correctly so no issues there.
