All Questions
What is the Continental SecureContact AW designed for?
Is the SecureContact AW an all-season tire?
The SecureContact AW is an all-weather tire, which is different from a traditional all-season tire. While both are made for year-round use, an all-weather tire is engineered to provide stronger cold-weather and snow traction while still delivering comfort and handling in warmer conditions.
Is the SecureContact AW good in snow?
Yes. The SecureContact AW is designed for winter conditions and carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, which means it meets industry standards for severe snow performance.
Do I need winter tires if I have SecureContact AW tires?
For many drivers, the SecureContact AW offers the convenience of one tire that can be used throughout the year, including winter weather. Drivers who regularly encounter extreme winter conditions, prolonged ice, deep snow, or mountain roads may still benefit from a dedicated winter tire.
How does the SecureContact AW perform in rain?
The SecureContact AW is engineered for strong wet-weather confidence. Continental states that the tire delivers best-in-class wet braking and wet handling compared with select premium all-weather competitors in internal testing*. Its tread features help move water away from the contact patch to support grip on wet roads.
*Based on internal testing against select competitors. See legal disclaimer for details.

Yes. Quiet ride quality is one of the most common themes in customer reviews. Drivers frequently describe the SecureContact AW as smooth, comfortable, and noticeably quiet during daily commuting and highway driving.
Is the SecureContact AW comfortable for daily driving?
Yes. The SecureContact AW is a touring tire built to balance comfort, predictable handling, and year-round capability. It is well suited for commuting, family vehicles, long-distance driving, and everyday use across changing weather conditions.
How long do SecureContact AW tires last?
The SecureContact AW includes a 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. Actual tread life will depend on vehicle type, driving habits, alignment, tire rotation, maintenance, road conditions, and climate.
What vehicles are the SecureContact AW tires designed for?
The SecureContact AW is designed for a wide range of passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs. It is a strong option for drivers who want year-round traction, touring comfort, and all-weather confidence without switching between summer and winter tires.
