Given 77% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2 (195/55 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Bought these tyres for the front to help cut noise and fuel consumption and they work really well in that regard. They are a bit dead in handling though, probably caused by the soft sidewalls that help them ride smoothly over rough surfaces. It's not a performance car so I can live with that. What is worrying is that the centre tread seems very worn after 10k miles, much more than the outside edges. I check my pressures every fortnight and they are only ever down by 1psi max and the previous Bridgestones wore evenly so it must just be a characteristic of these tyres as others have said the same on the BriSkoda forum. Should still be good for another 10k though.

Given 86% while driving a Jaguar XJ8 (225/60 R16 W) on mostly motorways for 500 average miles
Replaced the front two Pirelli P4000's on my Jaguar XJ8. Didn't think the car could get any quieter but it is with these tyres. I also achieved 30 mpg on a 240 mile trip to Wales last week, nearly 2 mpg better than the best I've achieved before.

Grip is very good on dry or wet surface.
Not too noisy.
Driven them on all kinds of roads. Very satisfied .
Bought them 2 years ago. I think they can go another 15k.

Given 84% while driving a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 13,392 average miles
Since I fitted these tyres in 2013 I did 21552 km and I am pleased with wear. I think they will last at least 45000 km, or even more, as I drive normally, anticipating traffic. Dry grip is very good by my standards, as well as wet grip. I experienced straight aquaplaning as I drove with 55km/h in standing water and nothing bad happened, so these tyres are very good. I had to brake hard in both dry and wet conditions, and they did grip well. In conclusion I'm more than pleased with Dunlop Sport BlueResponse. Surely I'll buy them again.

Given 83% while driving a Mercedes Benz W124 Estate (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
A premium tyre for a mid-range price. This is an initial review after around 1000 miles. I got 2 of these for the front axle of my old Merc diesel after the previously using Uniroyal Rainexperts. I was going to go for either Uniroyal RE3 or Continental PC5s, but after seeing these on offer and reading a load of reviews I thought I'd give them a go. Straight away I noticed the difference in rolling resistance, noise and comfort being much better. They don't have an exciting tread pattern, but they are extremely quiet, and give a very smooth and comfortable ride. I can't comment on wear yet, but performance in the dry and wet is very good. Only negative is soft sidewalls- on 'spirited' cornering/fast motorway slip turns etc I can feel them on the edge of their comfort level at standard pressures (32psi). I like a compound with a bit of 'give' for fronts though, so I can get more feedback, so this is the trade-off. Very comfortable for all-round use though, and a bargain at their price-point.

Given 84% while driving a Audi A4 1.9 TDI (205/55 R16) on track for 15,000 spirited miles
Overall they are very good tires, after 20.000km and 2 years only for one think I am disappointed, next year I need to buy new ones because then I willdrive F1 slick tires . Related to my previous tires, with the same driving style where was used for 40000km and 4 years, Dunlop is worst. But the feeling of driving is excellent.

Given 77% while driving a SEAT Ibiza (185/60 R14 H) on mostly country roads for 12,000 spirited miles
For the past 2.5 years I have installed four tyres of Bluresponse to a Seat Ibiza MKII 50 PS. They have great feeling in dry and wet greek roads and they are very quiet as well. The wear is averaged and I have driven over 20000 km on country roads and motorway. Highly recommended!

Given 67% while driving a Peugeot 306 GTI6 (195/50 R15 V) on mostly country roads for 12,500 spirited miles
Tyres handled well, only cover just over 10000 on them however I am changing them as they have lost their grip and feel.

I would recommend for these for people who mostly do motorway and the occasional fast road drive, as they're quiet and mine still have tons of tread left, just the shoulders have lost it due to a track day.

Given 40% while driving a Toyota Prius (195/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 16,000 easy going miles
I got these tyres as they were supposedly low rolling resistance suitable for a Toyota Prius. Unfortunately they were very disappointing - only lasting eighteen months over 16,000 pretty gentle miles. This is compared to 4 years and 40,000 miles with the previous Michelin Energy Saver+.

The tyre pressure never held very well, the side walls always seemed bulged and the grip of the tyres in the wet was quite poor - triggering the Electronic Stability mechanisms regularly.

Overall I'm glad to see the back of them. Back to Michelins.

Given 71% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 8,000 average miles
The grip is very good in the wet and good in the dry.
But this tyre gave me 2 massive punctures, both rear tyres, within the first 9 months.
I bought a tyre repair can after the first incident (gently touched a kerb while parking and POP like a balloon!). The reason for 2nd puncture is possibly because i went over a speedbump! honestly, the sidewalls on these tyres are too weak. If you read up on dunlop speed response they suffer the same sidewall issue. Such a shame because the wet grip is the best ever, but walls are so soft i will have to change brands. If i entered a motorway with these complete sudden punctures it would be dangerous. Late for work twice due to punctures.

Good tyre. Weared 40k (km) and spended 3 mm, so, probably another 40k without problem.

Avoid, deadly in cold wet conditions.
