Changed to 16†Dunlop LM704 from Kumho HS51. Tire shop advised that it has good grip and durable. Until recently I experience aqua planing from these new tires which I changed. I was driving the same route home after rain and it just ‘floated out of lane' from a slight bend with not very wet ground. Luckily I'm a seasoned driver and knew that I can't brake hard and had to slowly steer back with minimum steering. Luckily there were 2 lanes and no cars on the next lane. If not,I would definitely have an accident. Even with my Kumho almost worn out tires, I would have no problem navigating the bend. Just wanna share my views with other consumers like myself looking for new tires change and I dun think I will be using them again.
I have replaced these for some Continentals
Car was downright dangerous in the wet . A terrible terrible tire

Wow, What a fantastic difference! Excellent wet and dry grip... I can drive over any kind of road surface with confidence, even those shiny patches on old roads in the wet that you think for sure will cause your car to go for a slide, these Dunlop LM 704 tires just grip. Handling... another wow! Finally my Mercedes 230E handles corners because these tires love corners. I think you will be impressed with the cornering, just magic. You can turn onto a corner with these tires and they just want to go around with no effort at all, they practically drive the car around corners willing to turn with ease and great precision. Comfort is much better than previous tires too so thats a relief, they are rubbery supple and not harsh at all. Noise seems to be low but its difficult to say because i can't hear if they are making any noise over the usual wind noise etc. so thats ok too. So far fuel economy looks ok but its too early to say for sure. Will see how they last and I'll add a second review in around 6 months or so. The terrain these tires are being used in is all winding mountain roads, steep sections and some hair-pin bends too, often wet and slippery because it rains for about 7 months of the year, low temps and the occasional very light snow. Then there is the short hot summer to deal with. Conclusion; a wow tire for handling and steering precision, great wet grip and dry, with excellent rubbery supply comfort. I believe you will love them! :D

I bought this tire in 2016 April as I am going from 16" OEM to 17" rims. I thought this was going to be an an okay choice, but turns out it is one of the best tires I have. With a 45 profile, I was not expecting much of a comfort, but it handled beautifully. Grips are great dry or wet, even though at higher speeds above 120 kph it was loosing slight grip, unlike more expensive tires such as Toyo I used before. Maybe it is a 'warning' feature! :D but anyhow, everything feels safe, even after hitting many potholes on the motorway as you would expect in Indonesia - no bumps on the tire walls or surface whatsoever. Threads are still looking very good after 2 years! I was overwhelmed by the quality.. even more with less price than other tires. Extremely recommended tires.
Best tire I've ever used, so, so excellent in every condition which is so important here in Thailand with so much rain and extremely varied road surfaces, highly, highly recommended I wouldn't by anything else for my Nissan Tiida 1.8
I just change my tire to dunlop and im very happy with the result while im driving smooth to ride i have a michellin but i think this time im going to buy again a dunlop tire no noise on the road and lots of grip

My volvo c30 needed new tires after 30.000 miles, so I got these from a local retailer last week. Surprisingly after putting Lm704's on the front axis, fuel consumption dropped quite noticeably right away (from 8,4 lts/100 kms to 7.6 lts/100 kms). I know very little about tires but the control while steering feels precise and very responsive. What matter most to me is that they also manage irregular pavement and potholes much better than my old Continentals, making the rather firm ride of the C30 a bit more comfortable. I was worried over the last months that my car was showing weaker performance but now I see it had much to do with how worn out I let my previous tires get before replacement. TIL tires are important.
Replaced 2 front tires for Toyota Revo 2003. Very good comfortable tires. Low road noise. Review in addition to my March 14 post (using Toyota Altis 2013 2.0V). - Philippines
Best tire so have ever had on a car, I am running 260+hp through the front wheels and while they will break traction in a straight line relatively easily I can't think of a time they have produced under steer in the wet or dry. I got them when I purchased the car, they had some light wear, after 15000km of somewhat spirited driving, the fronts are quite worn (still 2mm of tread before needing replacement) but the rears have only worn a couple of mm.
I would buy them again in a heartbeat if they were still available in New Zealand
