Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Dunlop All Season 2

This head-to-head pits two premium touring all-season tires with different priorities: Bridgestone's Turanza All Season 6 leans into wet/dry safety and precision, while Dunlop's All Season 2 plays the long game with standout longevity and value. Across three shared tests (ADAC 2025, AutoBild 2024, and a 2024 market overview), the Bridgestone consistently led braking on dry and wet surfaces, often by double-digit percentages.

The Dunlop counters with class-leading running costs: markedly lower wear/abrasion and better price-to-mileage, plus stronger winter composure. Expect the Bridgestone to feel more secure and shorter-stopping in rain and on dry tarmac, and the Dunlop to offer better snow/ice assurance and significantly longer life at a lower cost per 1,000 km.

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 Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 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

  • Class-leading dry braking across all shared tests (≈10-12% shorter than Dunlop)
  • Consistently superior wet braking and wet handling, plus better straight-line aquaplaning
  • Solid steering precision and safety reserves at the limit on dry/wet
  • Competitive efficiency with low fuel use and respectable mileage for the category
  • Excellent longevity and wear (≈23-33% advantage) with low abrasion
  • Best value/cost scores in tests; strong TCO proposition
  • Better snow/ice braking and traction; more secure winter balance
  • Lower rolling resistance and slightly quieter in some measurements

Dry Braking

Looking at data from three tire tests, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 was better during three dry braking tests. On average the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 stopped the vehicle in 11.3% less distance than the Dunlop All Season 2.

Hi, I've done around 500km on new Turanza, mainly in city. I've got Mondeo mk4 1.6TDCI after chip. I've used previously Vredestein Quatrac Pro. I've have tested so far Bridgestone on the dry and wet in 20-5C. So far they more comfortable than Vredestein Quatrac Pro, noise is around the same (so they rather quiet tires - I've been using 225/50 R17 (not a standard Mondeo mk4, but similiar size (a bit bigger than standard 215/50R17 and smaller than next standard tire 235/45R18))). On dry Bridgestones are more gripper than Vredestein and on wet the are excellent compared to Vredestein. On Quatrac... Continue reading this review using the link below

Only driven a few hundred kilometers so far but the first impression is very good compared to the Kumho solus 4s ha32 that was on the car before. The tires tend to squeak when driving a little faster but have never lost grip so far. I have no complaints on wet roads either. I can't say anything about wear and snow performance yet. I would buy the tires again at this point.

Conclusion

If your priority is year-round safety on wet and dry roads, the Bridgestone is the clearer performer. It dominated dry and wet braking in all shared tests (e.g., −11-12% vs. Dunlop in both dry and wet braking in 2024) and added small but consistent advantages in aquaplaning and wet handling. Its weaker area is winter, where it trails the Dunlop in snow and ice metrics.

The Dunlop is the value and endurance choice. It repeatedly posted the best mileage and cost scores (e.g., +23-33% wear advantage; ~27% better value index), with lower abrasion and a modest edge in rolling resistance. On snow and ice, it generally stops and grips better than the Bridgestone. For predominantly mild climates with frequent rain, pick the Bridgestone; for mixed climates with real winters or drivers focused on TCO, the Dunlop stands out.
Key Differences
  • Bridgestone stops shorter in dry braking by ~11-12% (e.g., 36.8 m vs 41.6 m in 225/50 R17)
  • Bridgestone stops shorter in wet braking by ~11-12% (e.g., 50.5 m vs 57.3 m)
  • Bridgestone shows stronger straight aquaplaning resistance; Dunlop slightly better in curved AP once
  • Dunlop is clearly better on snow/ice (shorter snow and ice braking; higher traction)
  • Dunlop delivers much longer tread life and lower abrasion (+23-33% wear advantage)
  • Dunlop offers better value/price-per-1,000 km and lower rolling resistance; Bridgestone offers higher on-road grip

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.
