Given 63% while driving a Mazda 3 2.2D 150 (215/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
Mazda 3 sport 2.2 fastback(64 Reg) Had this car almost 2years now I'd have to say if it wasn't for the noise that comes from the tyre I'd buy these again but theyre so loud I have to turn music up loud just to drown out the road noise as I do mway & Dual carriage ways
..shame coz the grip & tread work really well it's just way too loud to buy again..so I'll be going elsewhere when they need replacing .

Have a mazda 3 fastback sport nav 2015..the tyres 215 45 18 came with car when buying it ....have to say overall great tread & great in comfort & holding the road and grip and performance however the only downside is there very noisy on most roads above 50mph to the point where I have to really turn up the music or speak loudly if with company..probably wouldn't buy again just toooo noisy as I do mostly dual carriageway driving .

Given 54% while driving a Audi A3 (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
These came fitted to a car I recently bought. I've found grip levels relatively low, especially under braking. The worst thing about them is the heavy feel on turn in. I've tried other tyres on the same car and they have much more bite than these Dunlops.

Great tyre BUT I put 2 of these on the front of my A5 on the 1st of May this year it is now 1st November same year and they are done. I have Covered 7000 miles in the time but really.... What are they made of - what ever it is that is far too much wear in such a short space of time..

Tires have great traction no matter the road conditions. But response is horrid. On my old turanzas car turned in a lot sharper. Now it has a noticeable delay between steering wheel input and turn change with too much sidewall flex.

Given 60% while driving a Alfa Romeo MiTo (215/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 13,000 easy going miles
These were factory fitted when i bought the car, they had a large amount of cracking in the grooves from over exposure to sunlight and cold sat on a forcourt for 2 years.
This issue probaly didnt help with the wear of the tyres which is mianly motorway, they had have done just over 19k when it was mentioned my service that they were almost on the limit. These are not the best tyres as other reviews have shown for long distance commuting, I regulary do 18k a year.
In the snow when they had a good amount of tread on them they were awful as you would expect of a performance summer tyre.
I will be moving on to the winter/summer tyre routine this year, but noit dunlops.

After one season of driving the tyres became very noisy. Like so noisy you are not sure if your bearings are faulty.

Given 47% while driving a Audi TT (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Decent tyre with good grip, better grip than Avon zz3. Both wet and dry. But when it comes to wear these tyres are horrid. 3000 miles they covered on my car in 4 months on the front :( I am heavy footed bout even the previous Avon zz3's with me driving lasted a little over 10k miles. I would not recommend these to anyone unless your going up and down the motorway

Given 86% while driving a Vauxhall Omega (235/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 24,000 spirited miles
One of the best tyres I've driven on a Vauxhall Omega, if not the best. Directional stability, raw grip, braking performance are all superb for a road tyre. The downside is a life of about 11-12k from the rears (RWD) and double from fronts. Grip and stability maintained to long below the UK legal limit. The level of feedback allows you to get the maximum out of them, and with a predictability that inspires confidence. All this with a comfortable ride, although a bit of tyre noise.
