Performance Analysis
Dunlop All Season 2 delivers a balanced, utility-focused package with standout longevity and efficiency, coupled with respectable wet and winter security. Across three tests it consistently excels in wear/abrasion and shows good value and rolling resistance, translating to low running costs. Dynamic performance is mixed: wet grip is mid-pack to upper-mid (particularly curved aquaplaning and wet circle), snow/ice are competent but not class-leading, while dry braking/handling and external noise are clear weaknesses. Overall rankings (6/16, 6/17, 11/37) place it solidly mid-field with a value/ownership advantage.
Key strengths are exceptional tread life (class-leading) and low abrasion, with competitive fuel consumption/rolling resistance. Weaknesses concentrate on dry stopping/handling and high pass-by noise. Wet performance is generally safe but not among the very top, with straight aquaplaning and wet braking occasionally trailing the leaders.
