Interesting tyres. Cheap to buy but the wear rate is pretty poor (judging by my first 8000 miles with them), so middle in the value stakes. Then to tyre performance.... on the face of it, these are nothing special. Dry grip is good, wet grip is not bad but nothing to write home about. However, where these tyres are special is the level of predictability you get with them and their responsiveness. Very progressive loss of grip, excellent cornering stability means finding the right line is a doddle, good steering response: basically, you can happily push these to the limit and know exactly what's going on. A drivers tyre, not up there with the best in absolute performance, but I've been very happy with them and the price is good (not allowing for wear!).

Car came with them all round as stock. Replaced the fronts almost right away as grip/traction felt poor and had cracks along the grooves when I got the car with 9k miles on it.
Replaced with Potenza S-03s which were much better.. I was starting to forget how much better until I recently rotated the tyres putting the orginal rear dunlops back on front. WoW, I really appreciate just how good the S-03s are now.
Although I've already ordered some Falken FK452s to try on the front.
Dunlops to be avoided imho.

Replaced my fronts with these, they were reasonable but haven't lasted as long as I expected. Grip is good in both wet & dry, but they were difficult to balance so got a lot of vibration & noise from them. For a cheaper tyre they're OK, but I'll pay more for the replacements & get something better that will last a bit longer.
