BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Dunlop All Season 2

This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season (touring) against the Dunlop All Season 2 (premium-touring), two all-season options aimed at year-round daily driving in passenger cars. Across four shared tests in 17-18 inch fitments, both deliver solid all-round ability but take very different paths to it.
The BFGoodrich consistently stops shorter on dry roads and shines in snow traction and handling, while Dunlop counters with stronger wet performance and a standout value proposition driven by exceptional tread life. If you commute through varied weather, the choice here largely hinges on whether you prize dry/snow assurance or wet-road confidence and long-term running costs.

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tires directly!

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

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Best-in-test consistency for dry braking across all shared tests
  • Strong snow performance (traction, handling, slalom) with short snow stops
  • Good straight-line aquaplaning resistance and lower interior noise
  • Slight fuel-use edge in multiple tests
  • Stronger wet performance (braking, handling, curved aquaplaning)
  • Outstanding tread life and abrasion, leading to lower cost per 1,000 km
  • Balanced all-round capability with few major weaknesses
  • Competitive rolling resistance and environmental score

Great value tire, 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!

Conclusion

Patterns are clear: BFGoodrich dominates dry braking in every test and is notably confident on snow (traction, handling, slalom), with competitive aquaplaning resistance and low cabin noise. Its weakness is the wet-braking and lateral grip trail Dunlop in most measurements. Dunlop flips that script: it's reliably better in wet braking, wet handling, and curved aquaplaning, while also delivering class-leading mileage and lower overall cost per 1,000 km.
For drivers prioritizing wet-weather safety and long service life, Dunlop All Season 2 is the safer, cheaper long-term bet. For those who value short dry stops, crisp dry handling, and robust winter traction without stepping up to a dedicated winter tire, the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season fits well. The practical takeaway: pick BFGoodrich for dry/snow assurance; pick Dunlop for wet-road confidence and wallet-friendly longevity.
Key Differences
  • Dry braking: BFGoodrich consistently shorter (e.g., −6-9% vs Dunlop in multiple tests)
  • Wet braking/handling: Dunlop leads (e.g., −2.9 to −3.7% wet braking; better wet handling/circle)
  • Snow: BFGoodrich stronger in traction/handling; Dunlop slightly better on ice braking
  • Aquaplaning: BFGoodrich better straight, Dunlop better in curved scenarios
  • Noise: BFGoodrich quieter by around 0.9 dB in AutoBild; marginally quieter in ADAC
  • Value and longevity: Dunlop massively better wear (+36-50%) and cost per 1,000 km

Footnote

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

Why is this important? Tire 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 tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire 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 tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
