Dunlop Signature HP

Have owned these tires (4) for a number of years and are very happy with them. I must say, that they handle very nicely (although I maintain proper pressures and alignment) which is necessary for ANY tire that is expected to work properly. The compound is hard thus providing excellent wear characteristics and I didn’t notice any handling deficients due to a harder compound. I would say the only lower scores reflected are a bit nosier and a bit harder ride but there’s always compromise between quiet and comfort vs handling and longer tire wear. We are very happy with our Dunlop Signature HPs and would gladly purchase a new pair when needed

My experience with Dunlop Signature tyres was not good, so I'm posting this review to give more information. A pair of these (with a tread pattern different from that in the picture) was already installed on the rear (driving) wheels of an old Jaguar saloon when I bought it from the previous owner. The Dunlops rolled along the road quietly and showed little tread wear, however the rubber was cracking in the sidewalls (I don't know how old they were). The few times I drove the car before replacing them for safety revealed the Dunlops to have very hard, low-grip rubber, resulting in the back end of the car feeling like it was about to slide sideways while cornering. This was at the speed limit in the dry and slower in the wet. The front tyres (same size, different brand) always felt secure, with stronger grip than the Dunlops while cornering and braking. These Dunlops might be good on all four wheels for a few track days, but I would not recommend them for daily driving in modern traffic and changeable weather conditions.
