Nokian SeasonProof vs Toyo Celsius AS2: the full picture
This comparison is built only from published independent tests — no manufacturer claims and no sponsored reviews. Between them, the Nokian SeasonProof and Toyo Celsius AS2 appear in 21 tests, 2 of which put both tires on the same track on the same day. Head-to-head results carry the most weight here, because surface, weather and test car all change between events and make raw numbers from different tests hard to compare directly.
How the Nokian SeasonProof performs. It takes the win in wet, snow, noise / comfort, mileage, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 91/100, based on 8 tests.
How the Toyo Celsius AS2 performs. It takes the win in dry, ice. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 89/100, based on 13 tests.
What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.
Verdict
The Nokian SeasonProof is the stronger all-round choice, leading in wet and Tire Lab Score. The Toyo Celsius AS2 still wins on dry, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
