Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
74/100From 7 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
70/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.
The Dunlop Sport All Season generally satisfies users by delivering commendable dry and wet handling, impressive high-mileage durability, and a remarkably quiet ride. While most reviewers praise its balanced performance and stable motorway behavior, a few note specific concerns regarding dry braking feel and grip in muddy conditions.
Pros
- Excellent dry and wet handling capabilities
- High wear resistance and impressive longevity, lasting up to 70,000 to 75,000 km
- Low noise levels and high ride comfort
- Stable and steady performance over the tire's lifespan
Cons
- Inconsistent or unsettling dry braking feel, with some tendency to lock up under hard braking
- Subpar grip in mud
- Rubber tends to harden noticeably toward the end of its life cycle
Worth knowing
- Reviewers noting specific sizes, such as 205/55R16 with a 94V rating, highlighted stiffer sidewalls that create a slightly more planted feel despite taller sidewall flex.
