The Toyo Celsius AS2 is widely regarded as a comfort-focused all-season tire that excels in ride quality and noise reduction. While some users find the handling characteristics to be softer than dedicated summer performance tires, the consensus points to a reliable, safe, and quiet option for daily driving in varied weather conditions.

Pros

  • Exceptional ride comfort and low road noise levels
  • Strong performance and stability in wet weather conditions
  • Reliable traction in light snow and winter environments
  • Absence of tramlining, contributing to a composed driving experience

Cons

  • Noticeable 'spongy' or soft sidewall feel compared to performance-oriented tires
  • Long break-in period required before reaching optimal stability
  • Slight increase in fuel consumption during city driving
  • Handling is comfort-oriented rather than performance-oriented

Worth knowing

  • Users noted that even in lower-profile sizes like 205/50 R17, the tire maintains a soft and compliant ride quality.
  • The tire is frequently cited as a successful replacement for factory-fitted summer tires on older vehicles, providing a more comfortable alternative.
