Faded bars rest on one or two tests. This tyre does not carry the 3PMSF snowflake mark, so Snow counts for less and Ice not at all against all-season tyres that do.

The BEST High Mileage All Season Tyres in 2026 Tested P2 of 5

The Dunlop Blue Response A/S finished second and is an impressive first all season touring tyre from Dunlop under Sumitomo. It was best in test for dry braking, the quietest tyre on the meter, and the best on cost per warranted mile, and it was second only to the Continental for subjective dry handling thanks to a calm, neutral balance that keeps the rear axle settled in an emergency lane change. It also had the best snow performance behind the Bridgestone. Its one clear weakness is straight aquaplaning, where it was last in test, and its wet braking and wet handling sat behind the two quickest tyres. A very well balanced tyre with a single, specific flaw.
