2026 Auto Bild All Season Tire Test P11 of 15
The Dunlop All Season 2 finishes eleventh and is rated good. It is good on snow and very cheap to run, but its long dry braking, a pattern across recent tests, cost it heavily under the safety rule.

Drawn from 10 tests. Updated October 27, 2026.
Across 10 independent all-season tests, the Dunlop All Season 2 shows a very consistent character: strong winter ability and running costs, undermined by repeated braking and aquaplaning shortcomings on dry/wet roads. It is frequently near the top for longevity/efficiency (e.g. 1st for wear in 2025 Auto Bild 225/40 R18 and 2024 Auto Bild 225/50 R17; 2nd for wear and joint 2nd-lowest abrasion in 2025 ADAC 225/45 R17) and can be exceptionally low drag (1st rolling resistance in 2026 Auto Bild 225/45 R17 and 2025 Auto Express 225/45 R17). In snow it can be genuinely class-leading in braking (1st of 16 in snow braking and 1st in snow traction in 2026 ADAC 185/65 R15; 2nd of 17 in snow braking in 2026 Auto Bild 225/45 R17), with testers describing it as “among the very best here for snow braking” and a “genuine winter performer”.
The recurring exception is road-safety balance on dry and, in some tests, wet: it repeatedly posts some of the worst dry braking figures in the field (e.g. 16th/16 in 2026 ADAC 185/65 R15; 14th/14 in 2026 Auto Bild Allrad SUV 225/55 R18; 16th/17 in 2025 Auto Bild 225/40 R18), which Auto Bild explicitly says is “a pattern across recent tests” and even triggers a safety penalty in 2026 Auto Bild. Aquaplaning is also frequently criticised (e.g. “floated early in straight-line aquaplaning”, and bottom-three straight aquaplaning in 2025 Auto Bild at 15th/17). Overall results therefore tend to be mid-to-lower midfield despite the strong winter/cost showing (average overall position 10.1; as low as 11th/15 in 2026 Auto Bild and 10th/12 in 2026 Auto Bild Allrad), with occasional better overall finishes when the weaknesses are less heavily weighted (6th/15 in 2024 Auto Bild; 6th/16 in 2025 ADAC).

Strong = top two of the field in that measurement. Weak = bottom two.
The Dunlop All Season 2 finishes eleventh and is rated good. It is good on snow and very cheap to run, but its long dry braking, a pattern across recent tests, cost it heavily under the safety rule.
The Dunlop All Season 2 finishes tenth and is rated satisfactory. It is competent on snow and rolls easily, but its braking on dry and wet roads is among the weakest here.
The Dunlop All Season 2 would make a capable dedicated winter tire, but as an all-season tire it is too one-sided - the dry and wet weaknesses are serious enough that ADAC withholds a recommendation. Only drivers who genuinely put snow above everything else are well served by it.
The Dunlop All Season 2 finished fifth, only just behind the Vredestein. It is the most economical tire here and decent across most tests, but it did not win any of the braking or handling tests, and its dry braking is a clear weakness.
The Dunlop All Season 2 claims the title of endurance champion, offering exceptional mileage that makes it very attractive from a cost perspective. Despite being one of the older designs in the test, it maintains respectable performance levels. The tire's main achievement is its outstanding wear resistance, though this comes with some compromise in dry handling and aquaplaning resistance.
The Dunlop Sport All Season 2's driving safety is only rated "satisfactory" due to its performance on both dry and wet roads. While a good environmental score improves its standing slightly, the overall result remains satisfactory. The tire's weakest performance is on dry roads, where it offers only average steering feedback and lacks precision, requiring frequent driver corrections. Its braking distance is also below average. On wet surfaces, it narrowly misses a good rating, held back by merely satisfactory aquaplaning resistance. However, it earns good scores for wet braking and handling, providing precise and safe control. In winter conditions, the tire performs well, achieving good ratings across the board for traction on snow, braking on snow and ice, and secure handling. Environmentally, the Dunlop scores well with a very good rating for projected mileage and good results for wear, weight, and fuel consumption.
