Dunlop All Season 2 vs Viking Fourtech Plus

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 three tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Dunlop All Season 2 is better than the Viking Fourtech Plus 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

Dunlop All Season 2

• Consistently shorter dry braking (e.g., 41.6 m vs 43.1 m; 43.2 m vs 43.9 m)
• Outstanding mileage and low abrasion (≈40-63% more wear life in tests)
• Stronger winter edge on ice braking and overall snow control
• Good value score and lower rolling resistance in tested sizes

Viking Fourtech Plus

• Better aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved) across tests
• Occasional wet braking advantage (e.g., 55.4 m vs 57.3 m)
• Stable, safe handling feeling on wet and dry at moderate speeds
• Competitive fuel consumption and low test weight

Real World Driver Reviews

Tire Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Dunlop All Season 2 and Viking Fourtech Plus.

In total the Dunlop All Season 2 has been reviewed 4 times and drivers have given the tire 70% overall.

The Viking Fourtech Plus has been reviewed times and drivers have given the tire 0% overall.

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Dunlop All Season 2.

Conclusion

Overall, Dunlop All Season 2 delivers the more rounded package: higher placements in two of three tests, clearly shorter dry braking, better ice braking, superior wet handling consistency, and a standout advantage in mileage and abrasion that materially lowers running costs. Viking Fourtech Plus answers with better straight and curved aquaplaning and sporadic wet braking gains, plus competitive fuel use.

For everyday touring, Dunlop's combination of predictable control and class-leading wear (circa 40-60% advantage in two tests) makes it the safer long-term value. Choose Viking if your priority is aquaplaning security in heavy rain and you're willing to trade some braking precision and tire life. The practical takeaway: Dunlop for balanced safety and economy year-round; Viking for rain-heavy regions where aquaplaning resistance tops the wishlist.

Key Differences

• Wear/longevity: Dunlop leads decisively (e.g., ~67,410 km vs ~41,400 km; ~62-63% advantage)
• Dry safety: Dunlop consistently stops shorter (wins all shared dry braking matchups)
• Wet profile: Viking stronger in aquaplaning; wet braking trades blows by test
• Winter: Dunlop better on ice braking and snow handling; Viking close on snow traction/braking
• Operating costs: Dunlop combines top mileage with strong value and lower abrasion
• Noise/comfort: Small differences; Viking marginally quieter in one test, otherwise similar

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.
