Dunlop All Season 2 vs Toyo Celsius AS2
The data shows a clear pattern: Dunlop consistently leads in wet braking and winter capability, while Toyo trades some snow and wet bite for stronger dry braking, better aquaplaning resistance, and marginally lower rolling resistance in some sizes. Both are economical long-runners, yet Dunlop repeatedly posts the higher projected mileage.
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!
| Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Dunlop All Season 2 | three | |
| Toyo Celsius AS2 | one |
While it might look like the Dunlop All Season 2 is better than the Toyo Celsius AS2 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
- Class-leading mileage and low abrasion (approx. 67-69k km projections)
- Best-in-test pattern for wet braking across sizes
- Decisive snow performance (traction, handling, braking)
- Solid cost-per-1,000 km and competitive rolling resistance
- Shorter dry braking distances in all shared tests
- Better straight and curved aquaplaning resistance
- Quieter pass-by noise
- Occasionally lower rolling resistance/fuel use
Dry Braking

Conclusion
The Toyo Celsius AS2 suits milder climates and motorway commuters: it brakes shorter on dry, rides a touch quieter, and resists aquaplaning better in straight and curved tests-useful in heavy rain at speed. Its economy focus is credible, though Dunlop's superior mileage often offsets any small efficiency advantage. In short: Dunlop for all-weather assurance and cost-per-km, Toyo for dry-road commuting with strong rain-channeling stability.
Key Differences
- Wet braking: Dunlop consistently shorter (e.g., 49.2-49.3 m vs 51.0 m).
- Snow capability: Dunlop notably stronger (up to +10-14% traction, +4-6% handling/braking).
- Dry braking: Toyo shorter (around 4-5% advantage).
- Aquaplaning: Toyo leads in straight and often curved tests (+2-7% headroom).
- Longevity: Dunlop higher mileage and lower abrasion (+4-12%).
- Noise/efficiency: Toyo slightly quieter and can edge rolling resistance/fuel.

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.
