Hankook out-brakes and out-handles Dunlop; Dunlop out-lasts and out-saves Hankook.
Dunlop and Hankook approach the all-season segment from very different directions. The Dunlop All Season 2 (All Season 2), built by Dunlop under the Goodyear group umbrella, is pitched as a premium-segment all-rounder but is tuned heavily towards economy and longevity rather than outright grip. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 (Kinergy 4S2 H750), from Hankook, sits in the upper-middle segment but punches well above that positioning, replacing the older Hankook Kinergy 4S with a tyre that testers consistently describe as a 'Trockendynamiker' — a dry-weather dynamist that also holds its own in snow.
The single biggest difference in character is immediate from the overall scores: Dunlop rates 70/100 in our system against Hankook's 87/100, and that 17-point gap is not marginal. It reflects a genuine philosophical split. Dunlop's own test record shows it winning praise as a 'Langlauf-Champion' with the best mileage and cost-per-kilometre figures in its class, while Hankook is built for drivers who want confident handling and short stopping distances first, and will accept a shorter tread life in exchange.
In the one mutual test available — ADAC 2026, on 185/65 R15 tyres against 16 rivals — that split played out exactly as the character profiles suggest. Hankook finished 5th with a 'satisfactory' verdict, while Dunlop finished 10th and was rated merely 'sufficient'. It's an early signal of the pattern that runs through every performance category that follows.

Kinergy 4S2 H750
Dunlop All Season 2Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750This is a genuinely clear-cut recommendation rather than a close call. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the stronger all-round tyre by a wide margin — better in the dry, better in the wet, competitively good in snow, and more comfortable and refined, all reflected in its 87/100 rating against Dunlop's 70/100 and confirmed by its 5th-place finish (versus Dunlop's 10th) in their one direct ADAC test. For most drivers, especially those who value handling precision, shorter stopping distances, and quiet, comfortable cruising, the Hankook is the tyre to buy.
The Dunlop All Season 2 still has a legitimate audience, though: high-mileage drivers, fleet operators, and budget-conscious buyers who prioritise tread life and fuel economy above outright grip will find real value in its class-leading mileage and cost-per-kilometre scores, and it holds up respectably in snow braking. What it asks in return is a more measured driving style, extra following distance in the wet, and acceptance that dry-weather limits and lateral snow grip are not its strong suits.
If safety margins in poor weather and confident dry handling are the priority — which is true for the majority of drivers — the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the easy recommendation. Choose the Dunlop All Season 2 only if minimising running costs over tens of thousands of kilometres genuinely outweighs having the sharper, safer all-round performer.
