I see a lot of goofballs saying it is bad in wet weather conditions, but I disagree. Although it isn’t the best, it’s good. This is NOT a summer tire. It is an ALL SEASON PERFORMANCE TIRE. don’t get it confused. It’s decent in snow, but you can’t really expect ANY low profile to be good in snow. That’s goofy. I wouldn’t get them again because a set of 4 here is 1100 USD.

The Dunlops were the best tire I've used so far, lasting 60,000 km/5 yrs and with enough tread to go another 1-2 years or more. Amazing durability. Would definitely have bought again but they are no longer made in the correct size, but if you can find some old stock, you will not regret snapping them up.

Couldn't say the same for the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros I had before them, that were worn out after 5 years/60,000 km. The Continental SportContacts that it rolled out of the factory on were gone after 2.5 years (40,000 km) - terrible value.

I've just spent the last 10 days driving across Europe and back and through the Krokonose mountain range in CZ Republic, through horrendous rain conditions, and heavy sleet, snow and ice and had no trouble at all. Maybe its the 4x4 car that the tires are fitted to but the car felt totally safe at all times. This is not the first year I've been driving across Europe in the winter but with SP 5000's I've never felt the need to upgrade to a dedicated winter tire and have only used low gear once and that was on sheet ice going down hill. Tremendous tires in all weather.

Ok in the summer as a highway tire. Worst tire I've had for rain and snow. I only use them in the summer to save the wear on my good tires. I swap them out as soon as I see any weather coming.
