Given 91% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.2 12V (195/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
These are the best tires I've ever purchased. I can't comment about wear as they have only been installed for about 2000km however, I've recently discovered that Wet Grip is better than dry. I tried some 60-0 and the ABS kicks in a few times before coming to a stop. Yesterday I did the same in soaking wet (crap) roads and the car stopped in a shorter distance than dry and without ABS kicking in. I still can't believe how that is possible. To give you a better perspective, I slammed on the brakes and the car felt like it's going to do a wheelie at the back. THAT'S how good these tires are.

I had Nexen CP661 which where great, but these, these are a whole new level of good.

Great tire but the wear rate is shocking, I thought it was was my wife drove her golf gttdi on the school run but its not, they are a great tire let down by the wear, false economy, after years of dunlop, time to change and spend a bit more to get longer wear I think.

Given 89% while driving a SEAT LEON 1.6 105 bhp (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 0 average miles
My car was originally supplied with Pirelli p7s which I found to be excellent, if a little noisy on British motorways. When my second set wore out I looked for a quieter tire and the Dunlop Bluresponse tires were rated as much quieter with superior economy and wet grip - plus they were a little cheaper than the Pirelli's.

So far i can say the wet grip is great and they are much quieter than the P7's but I suspect they are going to wear more quickly than the Pirellis. I expected they might owing to the softer compound rubber but I can live with that in exchange for the reduced noise and improved wet grip. They really are very good tires for the UK climate and roads

Just got Wanli S1063 replaced with Dunlop Sport BlueResponse on front wheels and I am very impressed by improvement of road feedback and dry grip. Didn't have them for long enough to comment on other qualities.

Given 56% while driving a Toyota (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 13,000 easy going miles
Perfectly capable tire, pretty good in the wet, but let down by lousy wear, unsurprising given shoulder treads start at 4mm (confirmed by Dunlop Goodyear.) 13k miles and shoulders are down to 1mm. Off they come.

Given 60% while driving a Ford Mondeo 1.6 TDCi (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
So so disappointed. 2012 model 1.6 diesel Mondeo , which came factory fitted with Michelin Primacy HP's and these were typically dreadful in the wet but ok in the dry...
I'd read amazing things about the Dunlops and my choice was made for me after a serious puncture...
The grip was outstanding in the dry, tracked a true line on high speed constant radius turns, were nice and progressive in wet turns, and were quiet and reasonably comfy...
Then the shock... Less than 10k miles and they are at the 3mm line. I feel cheated , like i have thrown my cash away. If I'd known, I'd have bought conti's or pirelli's...

However have now chose Michelin Primacy 3 and these are a marked improvement on the old HP's and actually feel more comfy than the Dunlops.... won't buy these again - the wear rate is dreadful

Given 61% while driving a Skoda Yeti 4 x 4 (215/60 R16 H) on mostly country roads for 8,000 average miles
Bought these on the premise that they would wear well, have good wet grip etc. Only 8000 miles, and fronts are down to 3mm, and I wouldn't say that they had been driven that hard. Very disappointing.

Given 83% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 19.TDI Sport (195/55 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Mounted yesterday, before this having Yokohama c-drive. From yesterday drived 400km. With Dunlop car is more stable, less noise, and so soft. I think that I made a good step. Only problem from what I am little aware is wear problem. Great tire.

Given 54% while driving a Audi A3 2.0 TDI 140 (225/45 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 9,000 average miles
I bought Dunlop Efficient Grip for a quiet ride, I am not a fast driver by any means (A3 TDI Sportback)Pirellis on front did 27,000 miles, !! Yes 27K, but were a little noisy, so my dealer recommended Dunlop. (Successor to Dunlop Bluresponce)
I am horrified to find that th Dunlops are nearly finished at 9,000 miles, I will be lucky to get 10 or 11K from them.
Never again Dunlop !!

Given 69% while driving a Vauxhall zafira 1.6 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 easy going miles
When I bought them and changed I could immediately feel the difference comparing to previous Firestone tires. I'm very happy about the tire as with my drive style which is a slow commuting and motorway family travels these are perfect. The only downside I noticed is the wear. I've done only about 4000 miles and could notice full length rubber cracks between the threads. Not sure if it's safe...

After a set of Barum tires I am extremely happy with them.
