The Best All Season Tires for 2024 P5 of 7

The Dunlop Sport All Season is another good tire, but another tire that was out classed by the new breed. Its asymmetric pattern left it vulnerable in snow handling, and while it was good in the dry and wet handling tests, it struggled in braking. It did have a low rolling resistance and its wear result was ok, plus is had a low rolling resistance making it cheap at the pumps.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 7 tests. Updated August 26, 2025.

Dunlop Sport All Season shows a clear sporty bias with consistently strong wet and dry handling, competitive rolling resistance, and occasional standout lap-time pace. However, it repeatedly underperforms in winter criteria (especially snow and ice), struggles in dry and wet straight-line braking versus class leaders, and exhibits weak aquaplaning resistance and noise comfort in several tests. Overall results trend mid-pack, with highlights in wet grip subtests offset by braking and winter traction deficits.
