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.

Overall they are very good tires, after 20.000km and 2 years only for one think I am disappointed, next year I need to buy new ones because then I willdrive F1 slick tires . Related to my previous tires, with the same driving style where was used for 40000km and 4 years, Dunlop is worst. But the feeling of driving is excellent.
For the past 2.5 years I have installed four tires of Bluresponse to a Seat Ibiza MKII 50 PS. They have great feeling in dry and wet greek roads and they are very quiet as well. The wear is averaged and I have driven over 20000 km on country roads and motorway. Highly recommended!

Tires handled well, only cover just over 10000 on them however I am changing them as they have lost their grip and feel.
I would recommend for these for people who mostly do motorway and the occasional fast road drive, as they're quiet and mine still have tons of tread left, just the shoulders have lost it due to a track day.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Dunlop Sport BluResponse? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I got these tires as they were supposedly low rolling resistance suitable for a Toyota Prius. Unfortunately they were very disappointing - only lasting eighteen months over 16,000 pretty gentle miles. This is compared to 4 years and 40,000 miles with the previous Michelin Energy Saver+.
The tire pressure never held very well, the side walls always seemed bulged and the grip of the tires in the wet was quite poor - triggering the Electronic Stability mechanisms regularly.
Overall I'm glad to see the back of them. Back to Michelins.
The grip is very good in the wet and good in the dry.
But this tire gave me 2 massive punctures, both rear tires, within the first 9 months.
I bought a tire repair can after the first incident (gently touched a kerb while parking and POP like a balloon!). The reason for 2nd puncture is possibly because i went over a speedbump! honestly, the sidewalls on these tires are too weak. If you read up on dunlop speed response they suffer the same sidewall issue. Such a shame because the wet grip is the best ever, but walls are so soft i will have to change brands. If i entered a motorway with these complete sudden punctures it would be dangerous. Late for work twice due to punctures.

Good tire. Weared 40k (km) and spended 3 mm, so, probably another 40k without problem.
These tires are really good, I enjoy every driven km with it.
I will buy them again, the sidewalls are really soft, so you should be very careful with parking.
I bought them at May i had them for six months i like them a lot at dry its like i drive train (really nice grip going fast at corners on country roads :D)
In wet condition is really good like reviews say but do not over do it with a lot of water ahead something like a lake , hehehehee ....
Conclusion now i will buy them again when i get 10000 kilometer i will post again an when i will go to change them !
And remember guys take the right speed rating !
I bought this tire 1 year ago. Great in all aspects in the beginning but after just 1 summer season in UK totally worn. I just got 10000 miles, so it should be still in perfect condition. I will never buy it again.
Rated almost everything 9, because in my world there is no perfect things.
Lowest rating is wear at 8. Driving Subaru Impreza GX 2.0L, and since i put these tires on in May 7thm and now is September 9th, already drove 11500km (approximately 7145 miles)... it has only some wear on outside front tires, and rear tires almost like new. Maybe those people who complain about wear goes by inflation what car makers suggest on the side of the door, and in my experience, people should inflate more that car makers suggest.
For example, mine suggest under full load 2.2 bar front and 2.0 bar back. I always inflated front 2.4-2.7 and rear 2.2-2.5. No that its not over inflating, because i would have middle thread of tire worn, but its not the case. I think i will put at least another 5000km until winter tires change, i honestly think it will last me at LEAST 2 seasons (~33000km/20500miles), but pretty sure 3 seasons. To add about wear, i drive on unpaved aka hardly pressed dirt road with small stones every day for about 8-10km, that adds to the wear, which still as i mentioned, is small in my case.
Everything else is really good, i live in hilly area with a lot of sharp corners, and these tires handle them nice in dry and wet. On corners during dry, that most tires would start lose grip and start to squeek at ~60-70 kmh in my area, i can go 80+ without a squeek. Similar performance i used to get on vredistrian sportrac 5.
On highway during big rain i can easily go 110-120kmh (68-75 mph).
By the way the most impressive thing on these tires, is rolling resistance, its realllllyy good. Going down the hill without pressing gas pedal, i always have to press break pedal, because i catch other cars, who seem to actually use gas pedal abit.
These are pretty good tires and would suggest to everyone.
I use these as the front Tire on my 1998 Lexus LS400, they're a tad narrower than standard (215 vs 225) so steering is lighter and turn in better but grip hasn't been diminished and they're great in the wet too, better than Continental Premium Contact 2's anyway. Wear isn't as good as the Continentals or the Goodyear Eagle F1's I have on the back but I'll trade a certain amount of wear for grip any day, after all tires are what keep you on the road.
Front BluResponse = 215/60/R16 99V
Rear Eagle F1 = 225/55/R16 99W
