Dunlop SP Sport Bluresponse 205/55 R16 91 W

When looking for suitable summer tyres (Ford Focus Kombi ), I was mainly concerned with good wet grip and short braking distances so as not to have to worry too much about heavy rain on the dual carriageway on my way home from work. And then, of course, there was the price, which had to be affordable. I'd been reading up on a lot of tyres for over a week. I had Yokohama before, but there was something missing. In the end, the decision was made and I chose Dunlop SP Sport Bluresponse 205/55R15 91V. After having driven on them for about 12,000 miles, I can say that, with my quite gentle driving as well as a bit more aggressive (a guy had to test what I had chosen), the choice turned out to be a very good one. It turned out that the tyres may not be suitable for crazy driving but they are not what I was looking for either. It turned out that the tyres are not suitable for crazy driving, but it is not what I was looking for. They drain water very well, so driving in the rain is very comfortable, which was very important for me. They have also proved themselves on several occasions when braking sharply at higher speeds. And they are also quiet. My expectations have been fulfilled. I am now looking for winter tyres, and these will probably also be Dunlop tyres. Read more Collapse

I have never owned tyres like these. No matter if it's wet or dry the tyres stick to the road. The tyres are also really quiet and this is certainly due to the closed grooves in the tyre which are responsible for reducing and dampening the noise. I drove into puddles at higher speeds and found that there was no loss of control effect, as with most tyres there is a cushion under the tyre and the tyre behaves like on ice. I also felt a little bit in my wallet when I refuel, it seems that I do more miles on these tyres than on previous tyres. Previously, I used to do from one refueling to the next about 400 and now I do 500 miles and it is not that I refuel more, but as always until the gun goes off. I had mixed feelings about the tyres, because a tyre is a tyre and what is it supposed to do "is to be on the rim and roll", but my thinking has really changed and I am really positively surprised.

I had been using Goodyears for years, and Continentals before that. I came to my senses after the GY's were too noisy and constantly punctured. The choice was difficult but I decided to try the Dunlop. After more than 4000 miles (not many, but you can already form an opinion), I can say that I made the right choice. The advantages compared to the Goodyear Excellence: - rolling resistance - lower - my consumption has dropped by 0.8 litres per a 100 miles - loudness - a noticeable drop in the noise level of the tyres (i.e. the manufacturer's data on dB are true, not overstated) - braking distance - comparable to Goodyear - both wet and dry, you can notice a little bit more stability on wet ground - price - for the same size 3 years ago I paid 20 pounds more for Goodyears than this year for Dunlops. - appearance - I don't judge - because it's a matter of taste - for me both are OK Read more Collapse

I use the tyres equally in and out of town. A company car but a moderate driving style. The tyre meets expectations, comfortable but stable and predictable both when driving straight ahead, in corners, and when braking. Gives a feeling of safety. I have previously used Bridgestone Potenza 235/50R17 (great for very fast cornering but a bit hard), then Dunlop SP Sport01 235/50R17 (slightly inferior to Bridgestone in corners but much more comfortable, much cheaper, and you can enter corners quickly instead of very quickly :)). Then in size 205/55/R16 Conti Sport Contact 5 (at motorway speeds, in fast corners and in unpredictable manoeuvres they seemed unstable and did not give such a feeling of safety as the Dunlop, hence the choice fell again on the Dunlop, this time SP Sport Blueresponse.

Dunlop is a well-established brand, so when looking for tyres, I was guided by the name. Unfortunately, the model I purchased did not meet my expectations. Even when inflated to a pressure above the required level, the tyres look like underinflated tyres ("balloons"). On winter tyres of the Wanli brand, the car burned approx. 1l/100km less fuel in autumn and winter. I should mention that I tested the car without using the air conditioning on warm days. However, an affordable price is an advantage. Generally, I am sorry to say that this model of tyre did not work in my case, but I still say that Dunlop is a recognized brand. Regards.
