  • Top-tier snow performance (traction and handling leadership in AutoBild 2024)
  • Good straight-line aquaplaning resistance
  • Low fuel consumption in measured cycles
  • Class-leading mileage and lowest cost per 1,000 km in multiple tests
  • Better wet braking/handling balance (wins wet brake in all shared tests)
  • Competitive winter capability with stronger ice braking
  • Lower abrasion and good rolling resistance

Best Review for the Dunlop All Season 2
Given 73% 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.

Conclusion

Across tests, BFGoodrich consistently stops shorter on dry and feels more composed there, while also delivering notably strong snow traction and stable snow handling. Dunlop counters with better wet braking/handling balance and a huge advantage in projected mileage and cost-per-1,000 km, resulting in stronger long-term value. The gaps that matter: BFGoodrich's clear dry-brake lead and snow traction edge versus Dunlop's decisive wear and value dominance, with Dunlop also nipping ahead on wet and ice braking.
If you drive mostly temperate city/motorway miles and value low running costs, Dunlop is the safer bet thanks to its very long tread life and solid wet-road performance. If precise dry-road stopping and winter confidence are higher priorities-especially in mixed or frequent snow-BFGoodrich is the more reassuring choice. The practical takeaway: choose Dunlop to spend less over the tire's life, choose BFGoodrich to stop shorter on dry and bite harder in snow.
Key Differences
  • Dry braking: BFGoodrich clearly shorter (e.g., 6-9% advantage in two tests)
  • Wet braking/handling: Dunlop generally ahead (2-4% gains and handling wins)
  • Snow: BFGoodrich stronger in traction/handling; Dunlop slightly better on ice braking
  • Aquaplaning: BFGoodrich better straight-line; Dunlop better in curved scenarios
  • Noise: BFGoodrich marginally quieter in measured results
  • Wear and value: Dunlop far ahead (+36-50% mileage; best price-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.
