Data updated
Which should you buy?
Pick the Dunlop All Season 2 if you want the more winter-capable, longer-wearing package and you regularly drive in snow, but be aware its dry braking is repeatedly weaker in Auto Bild's measurements. Pick the Toyo Celsius AS2 if your winters are mild and you prioritize short dry stops and strong aquaplaning resistance, and in 2026 it also looks the safer choice in heavy rain, but it is not a good fit for frequent snow driving.
Where the All Season 2 is stronger
- Clearly stronger on snow across Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 tests, with shorter snow braking and higher traction each year
- Longer projected wear life in every full Auto Bild test, and lower abrasion in 2024 to 2026
- Lower rolling resistance than the Toyo in Auto Bild's 2025 and 2026 tests, and strong cost-per-kilometer scores noted by Auto Bild
Where the Celsius AS2 is stronger
- Consistently shorter dry braking than the Dunlop in every shared result, by roughly 4 to 5%
- Better straight-line aquaplaning resistance in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 tests, by about 3 to 7%
- In Auto Bild's 2026 test it is outstanding in the wet overall, with the shortest wet braking of the all-season tires and very quick wet handling and circle times

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 6 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.

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.

Dunlop All Season 2
- 70%from 7 reviews
- 43%would buy again
- 47,065 milesdriven by reviewers
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.
All 7 All Season 2 reviewsFrom my experience tire is very good in cold, wet and damp condition. On dry and warmer asphalt not so great at handling.
Wear is expetional, they wear very little.
Toyo Celsius AS2
- 82%from 6 reviews
- 83%would buy again
- 25,800 milesdriven by reviewers
Drivers report the Toyo Celsius AS2 tire delivers a notably comfortable, quiet ride with strong wet-road security and good resistance to aquaplaning. Most users also find dry grip solid and winter/snow capability surprisingly competent for an all-season, with only minor impacts on fuel economy. A recurring trade-off is a softer, more comfort-oriented feel that can come across as slightly spongy or less sharp in handling compared with sportier summer tires.
- High comfort/ride quality
- Low road noise
- Strong wet grip and stability
- Good resistance to aquaplaning
- Softer, less sporty steering/handling feel (slightly spongy)

All 6 Celsius AS2 reviewsThis is just my initial review of them after around 1K miles, I've fitted these on my girlfriend's car since both her summer and winter sets were getting long in the tooth. The car doesn't get driven that much, and when it does it's mostly through town so I swallowed my tire snobbery and decided all-seasons would be a good fit. I didn't get to test them in the snow however so far they've been really good in both wet and dry but what surprised me the most was the ride quality and the (lack of) noise. Fuel consumption doesn't seem to be affected that much either. I got a really good deal on them, less than €60/tire, when most of the midrange competition is priced at 70 and above so I'm really happy with the purchase. Made in Japan too.

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.
Six independent comparisons put the Dunlop All Season 2 and Toyo Celsius AS2 side by side, all from Auto Bild in 2024, 2025 and 2026. That includes the full Auto Bild all-season tests for those three years, the accompanying 30-tire braking shootouts in 2025 and 2026, plus Auto Bild's 2024 market overview braking summary.
Overall, the full Auto Bild tests tend to favor the Dunlop on total balance, especially once snow and running costs are counted, while the Toyo repeatedly looks stronger for outright dry braking and straight-line aquaplaning. The big divider between them is winter ability, the Dunlop is consistently better on snow, while the Toyo's results swing from very wet-strong in 2026 to more mixed in 2024 and 2025.
Both end up in the “good” bracket when penalties do not get in the way, but Auto Bild's safety rules matter here, Dunlop's long dry braking is a recurring issue, and Toyo's snow braking was severe enough to be penalised in 2026.
Conclusion
Across the three full Auto Bild all-season tests, Dunlop finishes ahead each time, by a small margin in 2025 and 2026, and by a huge margin in 2024 (6th vs 14th). That is mainly because the Dunlop is much more convincing on snow and it keeps scoring well in the cost chapters. In Auto Bild's 2024 and 2025 tests it beats the Toyo across every snow discipline listed, typically by about 4 to 14%. In 2026 the gap gets even starker in snow braking, the Dunlop stops about 17% shorter, and it also leads clearly for snow traction and snow dynamics. It then backs that up with consistently longer projected life (about 4 to 17% across 2024 to 2026), and lower abrasion in each of those tests.
The Toyo's clear, repeatable advantage is in dry braking. It is better in every shared braking result, by about 4 to 5%, and that pattern is reinforced in Auto Bild's 30-tire braking tests where it is near the top in 2026 while the Dunlop sits at the back. The Toyo also repeatedly resists straight-line aquaplaning better, by roughly 3 to 7% in the three full tests. Wet performance is more nuanced. Dunlop is shorter in wet braking in 2024 and 2025 by around 3%, but in 2026 the Toyo flips that and is about 6% shorter, with Auto Bild calling it the best all-season tire in the wet. For wet handling, the Dunlop's big win is 2024, but Toyo has the edge in 2025 and 2026 by small margins.
So the shared evidence points to two different priorities. The Dunlop All Season 2 suits drivers who see proper winter conditions and want predictable snow traction with strong wear and low rolling resistance, accepting that its dry braking can be a limiting factor and has triggered Auto Bild's safety penalty. The Toyo Celsius AS2 suits drivers in milder climates who value short dry stops and strong aquaplaning resistance, and in 2026 it also looks like the safer bet in heavy rain, but it is a poor match for regular snow use given its repeated snow weakness and the 2026 snow braking penalty.

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.
