Given 74% while driving a Smart roadster (185/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Great tyre in the dry, lateral acceleration is high! Road feedback is great. The tyre is soft however and doesn't last long. I managed 15k mi out of a set of rears and 20k mi out a set of fronts (rear engined car). They suit a light sportscar very well. Fuel economy is good too. Biggest downside is performance in the wet at end of life. I have 2mm of tread left on all 4 corners and a slightly damp roundabout is terrifying. So I am replacing them ASAP.

Excellent grip in wet and dry conditions. One of the best summer tires I have driven.

Always bought sport blue response as they look good and last well but have very good grip and it's not yo heavy on the wallet for a top of the range tyre

Given 46% while driving a Skoda (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Had these on 2 different cars. Very average wear life (Michelin Pilot Sport 4 with the same 340 treadwear last a lot better). Look perished very quickly, and one developed a large flat spot on just the outermost band of tread. Others have bulging sidewalls, which don't look dangerous, but also don't look right. Dry grip is fine, but handling is mushy. Comfort is reasonable. Wet grip is very disappointing. Would not recommend these on the grounds of longevity - the perishing, bulging, and flat spot in particular.

Given 47% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulietta (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
If you drive anything near sporty stay away from these. I don't know how can they be considered ultra high performance, my winter nokians have more stability in warm dry conditions. They have a soft side wall and grip is average, they become wobbly in high speed corners, i had sailuns with more feedback... Almost crashed into a pole.. only good thing i can say is that they are comfortable over bumps and have low rolling resistance, other than that, they are crap. Had dunlops on other cars aswell, they are all terrible.

Given 86% while driving a Ford Focus (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
very pleasant tires to drive with, rolls nicely, after using winter tires as an all season tires, difference was like day and night, I don't want to use winter tires in summer ever again. I'm not aggressive driver, drive within speed limits, I didn't really push them, but their strong side is more on the dry than the wet. Although if you're not aggressive driver they should not let you down on wet. They don't seem to wear quickly with my driving style, they probably did some 30k km. The problem is weak side walls, slight bump to the curb at some 5-8km/h speed was enough to get a small bulge. It's almost invisible, but I can feel it when I rub my hand against that spot. I regularly check it out and it doesn't progress for worse for about 10k kilometers. I read about weak side walls from other users and this is true. It's really a shame for manufacturer like Dunlop to make a tire with such a weak side walls. If I consider buying Dunlop again, I would first check for reviews if there is a problem with side walls. If yes, I probably wouldn't buy them again.

Given 36% while driving a Ford Galaxy (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Tyres lose grip easily on corners and at low speed even in car park. Very poor given the price and sales hype. Just to confirm, new tyres fitted couple of months ago, pressures correct.

Given 87% while driving a Citroën C4 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
I drove these on a Citroen C4 1.6 ehdi, for about a year and a half and 25k km, mixed roads, 20% of the time spirited, the rest just normal drive, like with any other tire I have. They are good tires, overall, good dry and wt grip, good cornering and feedback also. I found an issue with them, when it snowed unexpectedly and the rubber got stiff and very slippery, so if you are in some area where you can encounter temperatures bellow 7, these are not the best choice. I haven't got the same issue with the Michelin Primacy 4 or 3, those just work in snow and low temperatures, also. Another minus, compared with the Primcay's is that this Dunlop wears about 30% faster. With Michelin Primacy you can do 80k km, with these, probably 60 k at most. Overall a good summer tire, quiet, comfortable and safe.

Given 56% while driving a Ford Focus MK2 1.8 TDCI (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 5,221 easy going miles
More than pleased with all aspects of the tyres except having to replace all four after only two and a half years and only 5000 miles due to rubber cracking at the base of the tread pattern.Side walls were fine and tread wear was like new as you would expect after only 5000 city miles..For a good middle priced tyre,to be told by the garage not to to expect much more from the brand,they represent terrible value for money,or were mine a manufacturing fault?.

Given 84% while driving a Ford Bmax (195/60 R15) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
Surprised by some of the negative reports but hey! everyone has an opinion. i have been using Dunlop tyres on all my cars and motorcycles for years and never had any issues. Superb road feedback, good in the wet with positive handling. Also very quiet wlth little road noise but then that could have something to do with Ford's cabin insulation.

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 1.9 TDI (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Golf came with Continental tyres, poor. Changed to Dunlop's huge improvement on steering grip here in hot Spain, Great safe grippy tyre

Given 70% while driving a Jaguar S type 3.0 (205/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 23,000 spirited miles
These are OE on Jaguar XE 180d (Some models), but they have a real tendency to not cope with putting torque down in the wet. Fishtailing out of roundabouts isn't great fun. They lasted 23,000 miles. Car was always very sure in the dry and wet handling, but let down with lack of stickiness under hard acceleration in wet. Pretty quiet and comfortable on a cruise and over bad potholes. New tyres going on now will reveal how much of that is Jag and how much is Dunlop.
