Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Dunlop All Season 2

This head-to-head pits two premium all-season touring options with distinct priorities: Bridgestone's Turanza All Season 6 versus Dunlop's All Season 2. Across five shared tests, Bridgestone consistently delivered class-leading stopping power on dry and wet roads, translating into higher safety margins in everyday, mixed-weather driving.

Dunlop counters with standout durability and value. It repeatedly tops mileage and wear metrics by sizable margins and shows stronger snow and ice capability. The trade-off: longer dry and wet braking and slightly weaker aquaplaning resistance versus the Bridgestone, but a compelling long-term cost case and winter reassurance.

While it might look like the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is better than the Dunlop All Season 2 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Class-leading dry and wet braking (≈8-12% shorter vs Dunlop across tests)
  • Stronger aquaplaning resistance (notably +9.7% straight-line in AutoBild 2025)
  • More precise dry/wet handling feel and higher safety reserves
  • Multiple overall test wins (4/5) and top braking rankings
  • Outstanding wear and mileage (+16-33% projected vs Bridgestone)
  • Better snow and ice performance (wins in snow brake/traction/handling, ice brake)
  • Lower rolling resistance and solid fuel results
  • Best value scores (lower cost per 1,000 km)

Dry Braking

Looking at data from five tyre tests, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 was better during five dry braking tests. On average the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 stopped the vehicle in 10.93% less distance than the Dunlop All Season 2.

Real World Driver Reviews

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 Driver Reviews

Most drivers rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 highly, praising its strong wet and dry grip, excellent aquaplaning resistance, and reassuring performance in light snow for an all-season tyre. Many also note good comfort and low noise, with several reporting slow wear and long expected tread life. The main trade-offs are a muted steering feel that reduces driving engagement and slightly higher rolling resistance/fuel use. Overall, it's a safe, confidence-inspiring choice with a few comfort/feedback compromises.

Hi, I've done around 500km on new Turanza, mainly in city. I've got Mondeo mk4 1.6TDCI after chip. I've used previously Vredestein Quatrac Pro. I've have tested so far Bridgestone on the dry and wet in 20-5C. So far they more comfortable than Vredestein Quatrac Pro, noise is around the same (so they rather quiet tires - I've been using 225/50 R17 (not a standard Mondeo mk4, but similiar size (a bit bigger than standard 215/50R17 and smaller than next standard tire 235/45R18))). On dry Bridgestones are more gripper than Vredestein and on wet the are excellent compared to Vredestein. On Quatrac... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

Pattern-wise, Bridgestone dominates safety-critical braking on dry and wet (clean sweeps in every shared test), plus better aquaplaning resistance. If you drive mostly in mild climates or prioritize predictable summer-like handling and short stops in rain, the Turanza All Season 6 is the safer-feeling, more dynamic choice-and it won 4 of 5 tests overall.

Dunlop shines as the endurance and winter specialist. It posts the best mileage by 16-33% in key tests, lower abrasion, better rolling resistance, and superior snow/ice metrics. If you face regular winters or want the strongest cost-per-kilometre story, the All Season 2 is hard to beat, despite its longer wet/dry stops. Bottom line: Bridgestone for year-round road safety in temperate climates; Dunlop for high-mileage value and winter-focused all-season use.
Key Differences
  • Braking: Bridgestone stops shorter on both dry and wet in every shared measurement (typically 8-12% advantage).
  • Aquaplaning: Bridgestone has stronger straight and generally better curved resistance; Dunlop only edges curved aqua in one test.
  • Winter: Dunlop leads on snow braking/traction/handling and ice braking; Bridgestone is comparatively weaker on snow.
  • Mileage/Wear: Dunlop delivers 16-33% higher projected mileage and lower abrasion across tests.
  • Efficiency: Dunlop shows lower rolling resistance; real-world fuel very close with a slight Dunlop tilt.
  • Value: Dunlop's lower cost-per-1,000 km consistently wins the cost chapter; Bridgestone trades value for higher safety performance.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
