Worst set of tires I had ever used, probably made worse by my rear wheel drive car. Has no grip at all on the road on wet or cold roads. Had too many scary moments to ever use this tires again. Just got rid of them after less than 3000 miles on them. The only words I would use for this tires.. Never Again!!!

Very noisy! I will never by Chinese made tires again. What a waste of money and recourses, I will have to dump near new tires and replace them.

Original/factory fitted tires on my new 2013 Mercedes C180.
I was surprised to see these Dunlop tires on my new Mercedes C-Class and I was very surprised how good they are on my C180.
Very stable at all speeds, very good dry grip, very good and rapid steering response, always easy to handle also on the limits, it feels like they are rolling very light and easy.
I have driven very little in the rain but they seem to be good in the rain as well, naturally they slip a little sooner than in the dry.
The comfort and noise level is acceptable, on good roads and also at higher speeds it is good comfort, I have however driven other C-Classes with other tire brands in the same dimension with significantly better comfort and significantly lower road noise but without that little extra sporty edge that these Dunlops have.
I bought my C-Class as a primarily comfortable ride but I must admit that after driving this car for almost a year now I am a little bit torn between the sportiness of these Dunlops and other more comfort-oriented tires, these Dunlops do increase the fun factor of driving the car with a little reduction of the comfort-level that this car is capable of.
Surprisingly I like these Dunlop tires on my C-Class, I think I can generally recommend them to any car, they do not have any fault and I'm enjoying the good feel they give when I'm driving.
I have only driven less than 7000 Km so I can't really say much about the wear they do however look almost brand new so far.

Very good on snow, grip and braking. Long breaking distance on dry roads, not good for sport driving. Very quiet and comfortable.

Tires lasted for only 42328kms compared to the 56124kms of the previous set of Firestone Europa of the same size. All tires were evenly worn in both instances. Tire inflation is checked regularly, and the car is properly serviced and maintained. It is driven with a light foot, and at an average of only 110kph on the open road. There has been no change in driver habits.

Driving on a combination of roads for 700 spirited miles
Fantastic all-round summer tire. Simple as that, the quality and durability to easily rival the 'best' tires on the market.

Currently fitted on the front my '97 Mercedes C180, outstanding grip on wet roads, even better on dry roads.

Only done 1000kms' on them but already they are worthy of a review, there has been not too much wear considering they are of such a soft compound but suit a heavier car such as my Mercedes perfectly, smooth and quiet on the freeway and grippy and responsive on the quiet backroads where you can really test them out.

Certainly won't be buying Continental or Pirelli again, there is no need, these Kumhos' do a much better a job at half the price.

Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Now, i'm 17 so i can't really give a full analysis on these tires but from when i bought my car i've only a few thousand miles and the tires have worn so fast, but they're a fairly soft compound and its a heavy car that i really like to 'drive,' so its to be expected.

However, they are pretty grippy in the dry, you can feel it stick going around roundabouts and they feel alright at speed. They are however noisy and on the few occasions that in rains in Western Australia, they feel unresponsive and you can feel a significant loss of traction.

I have a pair Continental Sport Comfort 2 tires on the back and can't fault them, they wear so much better, are so much quieter and you never hear tire squeal, if you've got a larger, heavier car like myself, id recommend those. I'll be buying a pair for the front because i'm not overly impressed by the pirellis' !
