Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Dunlop All Season 2

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 Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is better than the Dunlop All Season 2 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

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

• Consistently shorter dry and wet braking (≈4-7% advantage)
• Best-in-test balance with superior wet and snow handling
• Lower rolling resistance and quieter operation
• Top overall rankings and strong safety credentials

Dunlop All Season 2

• Outstanding mileage and lowest abrasion (≈30-37% advantage)
• Stronger aquaplaning resistance and better ice braking
• Competitive fuel use and lighter cost per 1,000 km
• Well-balanced winter capability without major weaknesses

Real World Driver Reviews

Tire Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Dunlop All Season 2.

Conclusion

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the stronger all-round performer where safety-critical metrics matter most: it stops shorter in dry and wet across all tests (around 4-7% advantage), delivers crisper handling in the wet and on snow, and posts lower rolling resistance. Its only notable dynamic blemish is merely average aquaplaning resistance.

Dunlop All Season 2 answers with a compelling cost-of-ownership story: roughly 30-37% longer projected mileage, substantially lower abrasion, and better headline value. It also edges aquaplaning performance and ice braking, though its dry precision and wet braking lag the Continental by meaningful margins. If you prioritize maximum stopping security and confident control year-round, choose the Continental; if your priority is longevity and budget without major weaknesses, the Dunlop is the savvy pick.

Key Differences

• Braking: Continental stops shorter in dry and wet across all shared tests
• Handling: Continental leads in wet, dry, and snow dynamics; Dunlop trails on precision
• Aquaplaning: Dunlop edges both straight and curved aquaplaning performance
• Ice performance: Dunlop posts shorter ice braking in ADAC
• Longevity/cost: Dunlop delivers ≈30-37% higher mileage and better value scores
• Efficiency/noise: Continental shows slightly lower rolling resistance and less noise; fuel use is essentially a wash

Overall Winner: Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.

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.
