Dunlop Sport BluResponse Reviews - Page 4

Given 80% while driving a SEAT Ibiza Cupra 20VT (195/45 R16 V) on mostly town for 12,000 average miles
I do 95% eco driving and the other 5% is very sporty in a mountain pass.
The eco driving is great, very low rolling resistance and low noise as well. In the wet this tire is awesome.
As for the sporty side, and I mean taking the car to its max, very good but not perfect because after 10 kilometers the tire starts to overheat.

I always take my time when deciding tires. Having just come from a rubber eating Renault sport megane. I wanted something grippy but ultimately comfortable also.

Having had the bluresponse on the car for just over 4000 miles, needless to say I'm very impressed. Obviously the car isn't designed to be thrown around into bends like my previous car, but it'll still let you and the tires do seem to have almost more grip than I have talent.

Since having them fitted, the fronts have worn 2mm and the rears just a little over a mm (heavy front end).

I can honestly say, I've never driven a tire so quiet and comfortable, to also be that good with grip. Wet grip is also good but I don't drive like a tit when it's raining.

When they wear down, no questions, I'll replace with the same.

Given 86% while driving a Rover 75 (205/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 15 average miles
Certainly the quietest tire I've ever had fitted. Wet grip not as good as a 'premium' tire (I tag Blue Response as a mid range) but not dreadful either, dry grip is as good as any I've used. Regarding wear I'd rate them 80% as good as a Michelin. So overall, a good buy, they tick many of the desired boxes, Driving a Rover 75 which has a quiet cabin, the Dunlop Blue Response really compliments that feature.

I am not satisfied after six months of wearing this Tires..
At the beginning was good on handling and on wet grip and dry grip.

Dry grip is fenomenal and so is the wet grip. Dry breaking is very good and the ABS system kicks in only in emergency braking. Wet braking is also very good, but the ABS system will interfere sooner than it would on dry braking. I drove in heavy rain and I was confident in driving at ~100 km/h without any sign of a problem. I drove once into standing water on the first lane, doing ~55km/h and nothing bad happen, though the front right tire was spinning around on water surface. I realised that since the revs suddenly gone higher, but the car kept its direction. Handling is good only if I inflate the tires at a pressure of 2.1 bar as car manufacturer says to. Road feedback is strongly related to correct tire pressure and it has to be done at least every 2 weeks to enjoy driving the car on country roads in a spirited manner. If tire pressure is below specified value, the car feels like is on jelly tires. Comfort on smooth tarmac/concrete is good but they tend to be a little noisy on bad tarmac/concrete roads. Wear is great considering I drove 20790 miles and the tire tread is half as it was when new. I would buy this tire again for sure!

Given 100% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 11,000 spirited miles
Excellent tire, grip on dry and wet is remarkable, no tire spin even at the limit at hard corners and with full throttle. Definitely recommendation, I would buy them again no questions asked.

Given 46% while driving a Suzuki SX4 1.6 LITRE PETROL (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
A newish set of these came with my Suzuki SX4.
They accentuated the cars hard ride, and the steering had a `sticky` feel in the straight ahead position.
They grip well on a warm dry road, but are very poor in the wet .It was very easy to spin the wheels pulling out into moving traffic on a wet road,(no traction control on the SX4).
I am no expert, but the tread design seems little more than slicks with longitudinal grooves, as the lateral grooves very quickly wear away from new.
I know this is contrary to the vast majority of opinion on here, but it is what I have experienced, and I guess the test comparisons are done on brand new tires
I threw them out at 5mm, and fitted a set of cross climates, which provided the same kind of huge improvement they had done on my Saab 9-3.
Improved steering, wet grip, and ride, and much, much quieter

Given 83% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDi 170 S Line (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 miles
Its a tire that i would by again. A good all around tire it is silent, it has very good fealing in dry and wet condition. The breaking is perfect. Only in under 12 C temp. The tire is working a lot to give you the preformace you expected to have from it. I would recomend the tire and i was very satisfied with them. Good job Dunlop!!

For the first 15.000 km the tire was ok , silent. After that it becomes very very noise, it was like i had a broken bearing , so noisy are they now, never, but never buy this brand again. When i say noisy, i mean you cannot stay in the car.

Given 80% while driving a Opel Corsa C (185/55 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 12,500 average miles
Good overall tires, drove them for 20000 kms in my Corsa C, before a puncture and a bad suspension rendered them useless, the inside tread was long gone. As for grip simply great, no problems whatsoever in wet or dry. Good response in braking and stopping power with little skidding from 80-0. With a good suspension should have lasted for at least 50000 kms.

Given 83% while driving a Honda Jazz (175/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Bought as replacement tires on a Honda Jazz Hybrid - OE tires were Michelin Energy. Wear was in line with the Michelins, while comfort was improved giving the Jazz a rather more compliant ride. Road noise was somewhat improved subjectively. The Michelins are very good tires for low wear and low mpg, but the Dunlops suited the Jazz Hybrid very well and offered a rather more comfortable ride. Would buy the Dunlops again.
