Ranked #5 of 6
5 out of 6 competitors, the Dunlop All Season 2 produced a mixed showing: it notched a few podium placings and was the clear leader for rolling resistance, making it the most economical tyre in the group. It delivered a decent snow package — fifth in braking (less than half a metre off the best), second for traction and fourth fastest around the snow handling circuit — and was solid in the wet with good aquaplaning, a second place on the wet circle and equal fourth in wet braking (around 2 m off the best), though wet and dry handling lacked consistency. Dry braking was the weakest area (fifth, roughly 5.5 m longer to stop than the top tyre), cabin noise was refined (third), and it did not finish last in any measured property.
