Questions and Answers for the Dunlop SP Sport LM 705
Sorry, we don't currently have any questions and answers for the Dunlop SP Sport LM 705. Why not submit a question to our tire experts using the form below!
Across 33 reviews, the Dunlop SP Sport LM 705 is most often praised as a comfortable, smooth and very quiet touring tire that feels refined over bumps and rough roads, with generally solid dry-road performance for everyday driving. Many drivers also highlight good value for money and expect respectable longevity/low running costs. The main recurring drawback is wet performance: a notable share of users report reduced wet grip (especially under braking and cornering) and increased aquaplaning sensitivity, and some also mention soft sidewalls leading to a mushy steering response at higher speeds or on heavier cars.

“im using this tires for 4years now, and the grip in dry weather is very good, the comfort and the less worries for being deflated makes me enjoy this tires more. made in japan is the main reason i love this sets”
Gets punctured relatively easily in rough terrain as compared to my previous Hankook Optimo K415. Other than that, these tires have been very good specially for comfort, dry grip, handling and braking
Excellent tires, made in Japan so the quality is top notch, handling and grip is very good, wet roads are average but these are summer tires so that's ok. have them since late 2024 and no problems at all, and will buy again. Lexus/Toyota are tuned to Dunlop tires as OEM supplier in many regions so expect good car-tire response.

This tire is soft. It has got Shinobi tech. Unbeliveable comfort. Noise is minimum level. I will buy for honda jazz again. If you are looking silince and comfort, this tire is best.
I've done 1,500 kilometers on these tires and so far they've performed wonderfully, both in dry and wet conditions. I haven't had any problems. Obviously, I haven't pushed them to their limits and I don't think I will. In normal driving, there are no complaints. On the contrary, what surprises me most is their smoothness. When going over speed bumps, potholes, etc., it's wonderful, it's as if I had installed the best shock absorbers.
I mounted them yesterday and went out for a test drive. It was a very rainy day. I took tight corners at 90 km/h and didn't feel the car lose stability or control. I'm coming from Toyo Proxes Sport 1s, which felt better in wet corners, but these tires perform well and are very good value.
Now, if anyone wants to take corners at 150 km/h in the rain, before looking for a good tire, they should consult a psychologist. Cheers.
Have the lm705s on a 2021 camry le 215 55 17 iirc. Compared to stock Bridgestone ecopia's very similar. The ecopias cost $180, The lm705s for $78. These were the only name brands in this price range other then sumitomos and that are made in japan. Dunlops are made by sumitomo tho so. The lm705s say sumitomo rubber ltd on them. The lettering on the dunlops lm704s are the same as the sumitomo tires which, imo look cheap. The stock bridgestones lettering looked nicer. Overall tires perform well with the camry in Dry and even wet. Read the reviews on wet being lack luster which was a concern in south florida but seemed to perform well. For the price, it's what you can expect for these sumitomos, I mean dunlops.
These tires get punctured so easily. The cost that I saved when buying them over Yokohama has been exceeded by frequent trips to puncture shops. I was using Hankook Optimo K415 before these. Hankook was better in all aspects except noise
This is my second review
After a year summer/winter
These are pretty good tires good in all aspects
Very comfortable and robust for bad roads & potholes .
These are not performance tire but touring so do not expect UHP.
As miles pileup will show how will last and be.
Until now satisfied with them.
Made in Japan is one of strong points because in market most tires are outscored its common now.
This is only one month usage. 100-120 km/h mild corner handling awesome(dry way). I took corner safe, but other cars struggled. Steering wheel abruptly turning left to right and right to left beetwen vehicles was safe (120-140 km/h and dry way).
