Given 87% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2 (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 8,500 easy going miles
Had these tyres fitted approx. 12 months ago and have done about 8500 miles on the rear of my Skoda Fabia, I paid approx. £62/£63 for them and at that price where very good value, although they seem to have gone up in price now, good in both dry and wet weather, very little road noise and seem to be lasting on the rear well. I would buy these tyres again IF I was happy with the price and could get them for under £70.

Fitted these to the front of my A6 2.0 tdi brilliant grip in the wet and dry . I have been very pleased with these tyres but as they get near the wear marks they have got very noisy , sound like a worn wheel bearing. Have only managed to get just over 14000 miles out of them.

Alarming, complete lack of grip in an inch or two of snow and slush, will never touch these tyres again, or any other Dunlop product. Not looking forward to my next journey !

Given 99% while driving a Honda Civic FD1 1.8 i Vtec (205/55 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 3,100 spirited miles
Excellent tires in all aspects. I have tested them in all kind of weather except in heavy rain and all kind of roads. Braking is excellent, no emotions whatsoever. Very quiet. What I do not like: the rim protection is far from perfect.

Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Golf MK6 1.6 tdi (220/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Very impressed with this tyre at first. Exceptional grip, performance, fuel economy, comfort, the works!! I drove from Swansea to Margate and reached 72 MPG with these at AVG speed of 69mph. Exceptional.

BUT
I reached about 7K miles and realised the outer edges were scuffing BADLY. Had the camber/caster checked by VW. Apparently fixed. Reached 12K miles and now they have started showing threads out of the scuff marks. Needed to be replaced. FRONT TYRES ONLY! Back tyres are still 6cm of tread throughout.

So. My advice for someone getting these for a VW. Rotate them around 5K so that you do not blow them like I did.

Given 89% while driving a Ford S Max (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 18,000 easy going miles
Had a set of these on the front of our Ford SMAX TDCI 2ltr. I drive very, very conservatively and managed to get 18,000 miles out of them. Always felt confident when driving with no issues at all, just felt right. I could have used cheaper tyres but as usual I was swayed by my perception of brand quality over unknowns and I'm quite happy with my decision. The car was never pushed to any limits and was driven in various weather conditions both motorway and roads without ever making me doubt their grip. Overall a good buy.

Given 57% while driving a Renault Megane Sports Tourer (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 65 average miles
Shocking tyre for the price. Barely done 20,000 and now they're classed illegal!!

Maybe that's the rub, they drive well and have a grip of velcro in the dry. But that does not mean they should just wear away so quickly. I drive motorway at constant speed on cruise.

The wear on the outer side of the tyre - due to its sidewall softness - is unbelievable.

No I will not buy this tyre again.

Given 71% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 8,000 average miles
Der Griff ist sehr gut bei Nässe und gut bei Trockenheit.
Allerdings hatte ich mit diesem Reifen innerhalb der ersten 9 Monate zwei große Durchstiche, beide in den Hinterreifen.
Nach dem ersten Vorfall (beim Parken leicht den Bordstein berührt, und es hat PLOPP gemacht wie bei einem Luftballon) habe ich ein Reparaturset gekauft. Der Grund für das zweite Loch ist wahrscheinlich, weil ich über eine Bremsschwelle gefahren bin! Also ehrlich, die Seitenwände bei diesen Reifen sind zu schwach. Wenn man sich ein wenig über die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit von Dunlops informiert, dann haben sie alle dasselbe Problem mit den Seitenwänden. Eigentlich schade, denn der Grip bei Nässe ist beispiellos. Doch bei so weichen Seitenwänden muss ich leider die Marke wechseln. Es könnte gefährlich sein, mit so einem Loch auf der Autobahn zu fahren. War wegen der Löcher auch zweimal zu spät bei der Arbeit…

Given 83% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 1.9 GTTDi (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 4,000 spirited miles
Spitzen-Reifen, aber der Verschleiß ist schockierend. Ich dachte es läge an meiner Frau und den Schulfahrten mit ihrem Golf GT TDI, aber das stimmte nicht. Sind tolle Reifen, aber schlimmer Abrieb und damit unwirtschaftlich. Nach vielen Jahren mit Dunlop ist es nun Zeit für einen Wechsel. Werde glaub ich etwas mehr ausgeben, um eine längere Lebensdauer zu bekommen.

Given 70% while driving a Ford Focus MK2 1.6TDCI 2008 2011 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Ich hatte diese Reifen während der letzten 18 Monate an meinem 1,6l Ford Focus.
Die gute Nachricht: der Grip ist wirklich gut.
Die schlechte: Ich bin gerade einmal 16.000 Kilometer gefahren, und das Profil ist schon ziemlich weit runter. Ich werde sie in den nächsten 1.500 Kilometern auswechseln müssen. Wirklich schlechte Laufleistung für einen Premiumreifen.
Um fair zu sein: ich trete meine Reifen ein bisschen, bin aber bestimmt kein Raser. Eigentlich mag ich die Reifen wegen ihres Grips, aber ich glaube nicht, dass ich allein dadurch einen erneuten Kauf rechtfertigen könnte.
