Alright, so I wrote a previous review about these tires at 45,000 km. After 3.5 years and 65,000km, I've decided to write an updated review.

I loved the feedback and treadware of these tires. After 65,000 km they almost looked like new. The feeling of these tires made you know what was going on with every turn.

Wet grip was good or okay. It was good whenever the temperature was above 10C and ok or poor if it were colder.

At first I thought they were horrible in the rain. Mitsubishi dealership used to inflate my tires at 28 psi. After informing them that they should do it at 32psi as suggested by the manual, everything changed! I was able for the first time ever to go uphill to park my car indoors while it was raining outside. I also didn't loose grip on corners!

I also felt that they had poor curved aquaplaning.

I bought the car new on jan/15. With the dunlops OEM tires fitted. They grip ok in dry and hot weather. But other than that. They are a pure night mare. Steering is very heavy and lousy. They scream and squeel on every possible surface for no reason. Noisy as a tractor. Feedback is terrible. And finally cracked at 27k miles with tons of tread left. Replaced them with a set of hankook k415 and guess what, now i got a car that i can enjoy . Will never buy them again nor recommend them to any body. Hard luck dunlop

First welcom all iam Mohamed from egypt,I bought my car new on May/15. With the dunlops OEM tires fitted.They Solid like rock that i thought that i had a problem with my car. (ABS braking system like driving a saup). They grip ok in dry and hot weather. But other than that. They are a pure night mare a death trip every time i drive my car in wet surface. Steering is very heavy and lousy. They scream and squeel on every possible surface for no reason. So Noisy as a tractor ican hear them more than my mobile phone. Iam dreaming to replace them ASAP . I used a hankook optimo and toyo before in my old Opel car both of them were perfect. The first time to find a brand like Dunlop with a so bad product like this tire now i cant trust any brand after using this tire. Will never buy them again nor recommend them to any body. Hard luck Dunlop

Came with my lancer. Horrible tires in wet roads. Handling and road feedback is great. Comfort is poor. Handles well in dry roads. I was never expecting Dunlop to be so horrible in wet. I will not buy Dunlop for a long time to come. Wet grip is unacceptable. I have to admit that the remaining tread is good, but again, I am someone who inflates the tires every 5000km to 32 psi and rotate then every 15000km.

The worst tires I've ever had. Will never buy Dunlop again. These tires have little grip in the dry and virtually none in the wet. They do not last well and have a low wear rating, needing to be replaced at approx 12k miles. The best thing about them is the average noise and feedback.

Practically word for word with the previous review. I have the Mazda 6 Tamura and the thetires have been on since new so no choice either. My car has done 15051 miles and also have an advisory notice from my first MOT. NSF 2/3/2, OSF 2/3/2, NSR 4/5/3, OSR 4/5/2. Not an aggressive driver and cant understand why they are needing replaced. The Mazda dealer has quoted Bridgestones as replacments at £513.96 inc vat and fitting. Not what I was expecting after paying out £250 for service and MOT on a 3 year old car.

I have a mazda 6 sport I purchased new, so no choice on tires. I have now had for 3 years and have done only 15,000 miles. Got a shock this week, just come back from dealers after having it's service and it's 1st MOT. The tires were an advisory note on the MOT. Front tires down to 2mm tread, back slightly better. Uneven wear, all tires worn more on outer and inner edges. I do not drive aggresively. So find tire wear excessive. I would not reccommend these tires to anyone.

I've had these tires on my 320 bhp Mazdaspeed MPS (2011) from new and am fairly pleased with them. The set is rotated every 5,000 miles and have experienced twisty fast back roads and extensive motorway driving (no track). They'll need replacing in about 1,000 miles and have covered 16,200 miles to date. However, they are pretty scary in standing water and had me sideways when driving over a hail-covered motorway slip road! Very noisy in everyday use. Will buy Toyo R1-R next.

This is a poor quality tire. Inspite of driving very carefully has lasted 13000 miles. Useless in icy and snowy conditions. Grip is poor generally. Fuel economy also appears poor

Fitted to my Mazda 6 Takuya (2.2 diesel) from new. I got 24,000 from the front set and expect to get over 40,000 out of the rear set. It seems other review writers need to seriously improve their driving techniques.

Standard fit on my Mazda 3 MPS. Lasted 10000 miles on the front but had to cope with 260 bhp.

Fitted as OEM by Mazda on Mazda 6 2.2Sport Diesel Estate, purchased Dec 10. Fronts worn out by 9,500 miles; rears look ok. Have checked tire pressure regularly at 32psi, so can't be this. This is very poor performance. Won't be choosing these Dunlops again. Grip not great.

OEM fitted to Mazda 6 from new, only covered 12,500 miles when tires had 2mm across centre. Road noise not bad, but wear really bad. I dont hammer round corners but dont hang about either, saying that ive never had a set of tires on any car that have covered less than 20,000 miles so in my opinion these are poor. Having a set of Dunlop Sport SP 01's fitted later so we'll see how they perform.

Fitted as standard to the Mazda 5 Sport.They are resonably quiet and handle well in the dry. On hot summer days the compound really starts to work. Although the tread wear on the front and rear are ok, due to the negative camber setup on the front of the Mazda 5, they wear through the inner shoulder and crack the entire tire carcass long before the tread has worn out.The wet grip is poor. The rears have also cracked with 27,000 mile on, but still with 5mm of tread.Some of the blame lies with Mazda, but some also lies with this tire.I have had the same problems with 8 tires.These tire problems shouldn't happen on an 18 month old car.I am going to try a different make of tire next to compare.

These are fitted as OEM tires by Mazda at the factory so didnt have a say in their fitment. Grip is very poor in both wet and dry, I have no confidence in them in any speed over 50mph so needless to say I wouldnt know how they perform at the limit. Cannot wait till they wear out so I can get them changed. STEER WELL CLEAR !!!
