Dunlop All Season 2
A very winter-leaning premium all-season tyre: impressively capable on snow and in cold, damp conditions, and one of the class leaders for longevity and efficiency. The trade-off is less convincing wet- and dry-road safety margins, particularly when braking.
The Dunlop All Season 2 comes across as an all-season that prioritises cold-weather security and low running costs. In independent testing it repeatedly sits near the top of the class on snow metrics (notably snow braking and traction), and owners also describe confident grip in wet, cold and generally changeable conditions. Add to that consistently standout predicted wear and generally low rolling resistance, and it makes a strong case for high-mileage drivers who want a fit-and-forget tyre that can cope with winter properly without moving to a dedicated winter set.
Where it falls short is on warmer, dry roads and-more importantly-when stopping on wet and dry surfaces. Multiple tests flag dry braking as a clear weak point, and wet braking and aquaplaning resistance are also commonly criticised, which dulls its “premium touring” promise in year-round safety. A minority of owners echo some of that character with comments about less satisfying dry handling/understeer in warmer conditions, plus occasional reports of noticeable noise/squeal; isolated durability complaints (sidewall/rim-related) appear but aren't widely repeated. Overall, it best suits drivers in colder or mixed climates who value snow competence and mileage above outright wet/dry braking performance, and who drive to the conditions rather than pushing hard year-round.

2026 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test P11 of 15
The Dunlop All Season 2 finishes eleventh and is rated good. It is good on snow and very cheap to run, but its long dry braking, a pattern across recent tests, cost it heavily under the safety rule.

A smaller but recurring set of comments mentions noticeable noise/squeal and less satisfying handling/understeer on warmer, dry roads; one very low score reports poor sidewall durability but this is not widely echoed.

Other leading brands should take note and learn a lesson in environmental responsibility: 58,000 km on roads in rather poor condition, like those we have in inland Spain, seems far more significant than a fuel saving of less than 0.1 L/100 km (the difference between one letter and the next on the fuel efficiency label), wouldn't you agree?
Let's see if they finally include the treadwear rating on the European label if they're truly as concerned about the environment as they claim...
If you're a frequent driver and looking for safety all year round, this is the tire for you.
Best regards, fellow drivers.
