Dunlop SP Sport Bluresponse 205/55 R16 91 W

I've long argued that you don't buy Goodyear and Dunlop (they're the same concern) because, for your money, it's the biggest scam. You might as well buy Chinese brands. And somehow I foolishly let myself be fooled by tests and reviews (including here) and bought a set of brand new (11 week 2015) made in germany Dunlop Sport BluResponse 205/55/16 91V (I can give you the serial numbers if anyone doesn't believe). I thought, "well how much can you make this garbage" I thought, "well, how much crap can you make and market them to people - maybe something has changed in them..." Well, it hasn't, and I'm still convinced. Why? Well, the whole set, 4 Dunlop's - which so far have driven maybe 300 miles, have not been "topped up", "braked" (ABS and ESP), have not been broken in. (ABS and ESP), not driven over a kerb or anything like that - have run-out on the circumference of the tread. The kind that you can see with the naked eye when you turn the wheel on a raised car. The result? The car shakes all over and the noise is unbearable. I will of course complain, but it takes 2 months to process the complaint. In addition, it does not include reimbursement of costs related to mounting and removing the defective tyres (about 60 pounds), nor the cost of renting summer tyres/replacement wheels (after all, I am not going to live off winter tyres at +15°C in spring/summer). To sum it up: if you have too much money and want to get rid of your nerves, buy Goodyear or Dunlop. Otherwise, buy something else... And for those interested, I can provide full purchase details, invoices, photos etc... Read more Collapse

My existing Dunlop SP Sport Max was due for replacement. The choice was difficult. I wanted comfortable tyres with good grip. As I was satisfied with my previous tyres and also had a Dunlop tyre left on my spare, I ordered the Dunlops. Despite the many positive comments about them, I was sceptical at first. I thought it was a marketing ploy and that I would probably not get anything interesting. But here it is. After changing from winter Kleber tyres, it turns out that the tyre is softer, more comfortable than the winter tyres, and it handles better. Driving a car that is stiff for a VW has become quite pleasant, even on bumps. The VW dampens bumps well, it doesn't thud, it has become "comfortable" for a car of this class, and at the same time with a firm grip on the road - it holds up sensationally. It is hard to make traction do anything. No matter if starting or braking, the car sticks to the road. Tight bends are unimpressive. The car drives like it's glued to the road. Of course you can fall off the road, but only if you do it deliberately. The tyres are quiet and did not need to be rubbed in any way. They did not slip when leaving the vulcanisation or squeal like some cheaper ones. The ruts full of water, dynamic fast driving in dry and wet, are not a challenge for these tyres. I am positively surprised - even though it is only the first 700 miles. If it continues like this, it really will be an excellent product. Read more Collapse

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

Audi TT Coupe 132kw 180 hp Turbo year 2000 Hi. I bought the tyres last year in the spring, also the whole summer season I have driven on them and I must say that I am very happy with these tyres, because they work very well with my car. The car, even though it is quite light, grips the road very well and does not slip at all when driving faster on bends! When driving in the rain, I have the impression that the water under the wheels is well drained. It took me a long time to decide which tyres to choose, so I'm writing to say that if you're thinking of choosing tyres for your teletracks, go ahead and get the dunlop. In fact, the car runs like a rail, very confidently and they are very quiet, which delighted me. When it's winter time I regretfully change to winter tyres and look forward to wearing them again and enjoying the ride! If you are undecided, I guarantee that you will be pleased with the Dunlop Sport Bluresponse. Read more Collapse

The choice for these tyres was made through feedback from other drivers on this site. It was a bit risky, but the risk paid off. The tyres surprised me after the first few metres with their low rolling resistance when approaching traffic lights - I had to brake much harder as the car just kept going and going. They dampen vibrations very well because of their "softness". As for the road, they are quiet, the car smokes 0.5l/100km less - previously I had 215 tyres and now I have 205. I would not be myself if I did not complain about something. This tyre is not suitable for crazy driving, during sudden manoeuvres I have the feeling that the car is floating slightly, and during sharp turns I have the impression that the tyre escapes to the side and I am driving on the rim, but it holds like glued. With my previous Firestones, these Blueresponse are sensational. I would buy them again and sincerely recommend them. Read more Collapse
