Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 5 tests, 2024 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

All Season 2
Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 95%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 10 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Drivers' feedback on the Dunlop All Season 2 is mixed but generally favorable, with the highest-scoring reviews strongly praising confident all-season traction-especially in wet and colder conditions-and good real-world mileage. Several users also describe it as good value and secure in everyday driving. 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.
- Strong grip/traction in wet and cold conditions
- Good all-season versatility (including light snow capability)
- Good tread life/mileage when maintained
- Good value for money
- Noticeable road noise/squeaking
- Less precise handling on warm/dry roads (can feel like understeer)
Summarised by AI from 7 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.

Wear is expetional, they wear very little.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
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.
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.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
