Dunlop All Season 2

Dunlop Tyres Premium Touring All Season

The Dunlop All Season 2 is a premium touring all-season tyre that majors on confidence in wet and wintry conditions, backed up by excellent durability. Real-world drivers repeatedly praise its wet grip, reassuring feel and long tread life, while independent tests also highlight class-leading wear and strong efficiency. The compromise is that it is not a sharp, sporty option, with braking performance (especially in the dry) and noise levels holding it back from the very top of the class.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

The Dunlop All Season 2 claims the title of endurance champion, offering exceptional mileage that makes it very attractive from a cost perspective. Despite being one of the older designs in the test, it maintains respectable performance levels. The tyre's main achievement is its outstanding wear resistance, though this comes with some compromise in dry handling and aquaplaning resistance.

The Dunlop Sport All Season 2's driving safety is only rated "satisfactory" due to its performance on both dry and wet roads. While a good environmental score improves its standing slightly, the overall result remains satisfactory. The tyre's weakest performance is on dry roads, where it offers only average steering feedback and lacks precision, requiring frequent driver corrections. Its braking distance is also below average. On wet surfaces, it narrowly misses a good rating, held back by merely satisfactory aquaplaning resistance. However, it earns good scores for wet braking and handling, providing precise and safe control. In winter conditions, the tyre performs well, achieving good ratings across the board for traction on snow, braking on snow and ice, and secure handling. Environmentally, the Dunlop scores well with a very good rating for projected mileage and good results for wear, weight, and fuel consumption.

Given 74% while driving a MINI Cooper SE (215/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Great value tyre, was expecting better with wet grip and aquaplaning. Good in dry but not so great in wet/damp roads, likes to understeer, Need to see what they are like in snow and ice!

Wear is expetional, they wear very little.

Lie db side it is noisy! it is good in reasonable driving, safe in braking for the bmw forget the Nokian and Yokohama do better if not it will slip at start-up
For me the profile design is not the best for an efficient all-rounder!
The rim protection bead is poor even in Y

Given 91% while driving a Citroën C Elysee (195/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 36,040 average miles
I've tried more than six different models of all-season tires, and this is undoubtedly the best I've ever had. Excellent grip in all conditions, from temperatures of -8°C to +34°C. Tested in light snow on the road (2-3 cm) with good results. The rubber is very adaptable to temperature changes and offers good mileage (58,000 km) with regular tire rotation.

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.

Given 73% while driving a Opel corsa b 160is (165/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 300 average miles
Only driven a few hundred kilometers so far but the first impression is very good compared to the Kumho solus 4s ha32 that was on the car before. The tires tend to squeak when driving a little faster but have never lost grip so far. I have no complaints on wet roads either. I can't say anything about wear and snow performance yet. I would buy the tires again at this point.
