Across 168 reviews, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse is most often described as a quiet, comfortable summer tire with strong dry braking/handling and very reassuring wet grip and aquaplaning resistance. Many drivers also report low rolling resistance with noticeable fuel-economy benefits. The most common downsides are faster-than-expected tread wear and a soft/weak sidewall feel that can reduce steering precision and, for some, lead to sidewall damage or puncture sensitivity.

when I first bought these tires, they were so much quieter and grippier than the continentals that were on the car but after a while I noticed how fast they were wearing, i do drive the car fairly hard and found the sidewalls far too soft for quick cornering especially on a heavy front ended front wheel drive diesel. They also seem very prone to leaking a few psi which again increases the sidewall flex. Ive had better tires that cost less. The car hasnt got any worn bushes or poor geometry either
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.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Dunlop Sport BluResponse? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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 !!
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...
