It will slide if there is a little water, it will slide when turning on dry land, and it will slide when you step 50% deep when starting. The skates cannot be driven in the south at all.

My HRV came with these tires from first. Actually it perform well grip in dry, good sharp enough for cornering. But I really not recommend while you drive in wet or rainy, it's slippery and I just drive around 47-50mph. In Indonesian road, these tires so noicy and harsh riding.

My BMW 530D had come with a staggered setup 245/45 r18 and 275/40 r18. Came with Goodyear RFTs which I had a terrible time with on our Indian roads. Had to change two tires within the first 7500kms.
After getting fed-up with them I had shifted to these dunlops and I have only good things to say about them. Much more comfortable considering these are regular tubeless and not RFTs, wear is also great, I've used them for 40k kms now before looking for a next set.
However only negative would be that though there is tread depth still left(above the change marker), the compound seems to have deteriorated causing a lot of wheel spin.
Also noticed a lot of micro punctures(approximately 2 every month) at this stage.
However these tires we're super cheap compared to the other tires on offer, had great durability (considering Indian roads) and good grip levels (never had a nervous moment).
A thumbs up from my side

After 20,000Kms they are wearing very well and they have had just reasonable handling, but they are very harsh and noisy, particularly on concrete style highway.

My Lexus came with these tires as original equipment. I live in a rainy area, and I can only say that they are terrible in wet conditions—slippery, prone to aquaplaning, etc. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Came on my new Camry from Japan. Not 050+ but 050.Average wet and dry grip but very harsh riding and very noisy. Looks like they will do 50000klms.

Soft sidewall premium touring tire, better dry and wet grip compare to Conti UC6 and Pirelli P1.
Very quiet and comfortable, but the only downside is wear slight higher than average because of the soft rubber.

I have been driving for over 60 years and have never driven on a tire as noisy as these are.

These tires come fitted from factory. I have never had a very good experience with dunlop tires, but I decided to stick with them since tires are very expensive these days. They are TERRIBLE. I have lost grip on uneven surface, even when it's dry. I dont know why they get such a high score here. In the wet they're also not great. They just dont inspire confidence. And the worst thing is comfort. They are extremely noisy even when new, and they're stiff, not in a good way. I know they are UHP tires, but they seriously cannot compare to michelin PS4, continental MC6, or even bridgestone potenza RE050 that I've had in the past. No, it's not the car itself that's causing all those issues. I used to have a set of dunlops that came with my mercedes w211, but I dont remember the model, and they bulged when I hit a small pothole, so I was hoping they had improved their tires over the years, but I guess I was hoping too much. I will still stick with these at least until they have 50% of tread left since the car itself is not exactly sporty, but for those who are considering replacing their tires with these, I suggest you look elsewhere.

My car came with the so max 050 NOT plus stock. They perform better than the re003 all round. Dry grip is pretty good but understeers quite a bit, in the wet it only gets worse. The tire is fairly noisy and a bit harsh over bumps. The tire wear is very good I must say. I have done over 50k km on them and they still have 3.5mm of tread left could get another 10k I’m easily, most of it is freeway driving however. I know have put the Goodyear eagle f1 sport and they are much better in ever way. More comfortable, way more grip dry and wet especially. Much more quiet and comfortable of bumps. I can’t tell about wear just yet. I would definitely get the asymmetric 5 or 6 or f1 sport over the dunlops.

These must be the worst tires I have ever had for road / tire noise in the cabin. Came standard on the car but had to remove them and put Michelin Primacy 4+ on the car to get any decent peace in the cabin. Cannot understand why Lexus would use such tires.

These Tires are very noisy at motorway speeds any spoils the otherwise great Camry

I've had this set of tires for about two years/20.000 KMs now, fitted to Toyota Camry 2013. The previous owner of this car bought the tires in 2018, and so far other than several punctures, no big issue. No tire crack/chip/bulge, tread still looks good. Performs quite well too. Good grip, on both dry and wet surface, and when cornering on the toll roads I feel confident But aquaplanning not so good, several times I felt my car floating when I hit a puddle of water on the toll roads. And for me, this tire is quite noisy. Even though soundproofing of my car is quite good, road noise (especially when my car is running on concrete/rough surface or non-asphalt), is quite noticable in the cabin. My wife even noticed this (and she usually doesn't notice such things). Overall, if you're after a flagship tire with a good grip, good value (treadwear is still good despite 4+ years daily use) and competitive price (in Indonesia, this tire is sold at slightly lower price than Michelin Primacy/Sport despite being imported from Japan), I would recommend this tire.

These tires were factory fit, Lexus uses this on the F Sport variant of the ES300h as a more aggressive alternative to the rest of the range. In practice that is fine, it isn't a car that wants to be thrown around by nature. However, I was absolutely delighted to see the back of them last week when switching to Cross Climate 2s. The dry performance is ok, nothing to write home about and they give up very quickly when they find their limit. It was a little bit of a shock having used Pilot Sport 4S for a few years on my previous cars. However, in the wet it is like driving on ice. I had very little confidence through the corners, would struggle to get out of junctions without wheel spin and they were utterly hopeless when it came to aquaplaning. The only thing that stopped me having a big one a few weeks ago after hitting a flood in the dark caused by a burst pipe was the fact I have Cross Climate 2s already fitted to the back due to a puncture the day before I travelled. It was an interesting experience having the front of the car feeling like a lost cause and the rears holding steady. Would not go near these again. The car genuinely feels more confident and direct even in the dry on the CC2 over the SportMaxx, the ride is a little harder as expected but, I'm glad I now have a full set ahead of the wet Scottish winter.

My 2014 Camry was fitted with this tire when I bought my car. The tire held up pretty well considering it's almost two-years old when I bought it. In Indonesia, this is Dunlop's flagship tire, and it does look good. Dry grip is excellent; giving me confidence when cornering in high speed in the motorways. Feels like the car sticks to the road. Wet grip should be OK; didn't notice any significant issue when driving in the rain. Wear rate - in two years the tire still shows plenty of thread life with no cracking, I think it could last up to 4 years. Comfort - on asphalt it's quiet for my car, except when the road surface is rough (cobblestones, gravel, concrete etc) then you could hear the road noise. I like driving fast, and this tire suits my need. If this tire could last up to 4 years and price won't change much (currently it's sold around 25% lower than Michelin Pilot Sport in my country), I'd buy this tire when it's time to replace it.
