Dunlop SP Sport 2050M Reviews

Given 41% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda 6 Tamura (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,050 easy going miles
Practically word for word with the previous review. I have the Mazda 6 Tamura and the thetyres have been on since new so no choice either. My car has done 15051 miles and also have an advisory notice from my first MOT. NSF 2/3/2, OSF 2/3/2, NSR 4/5/3, OSR 4/5/2. Not an aggressive driver and cant understand why they are needing replaced. The Mazda dealer has quoted Bridgestones as replacments at £513.96 inc vat and fitting. Not what I was expecting after paying out £250 for service and MOT on a 3 year old car.

Given 52% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda 6 (225-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I have a mazda 6 sport I purchased new, so no choice on tyres. I have now had for 3 years and have done only 15,000 miles. Got a shock this week, just come back from dealers after having it's service and it's 1st MOT. The tyres were an advisory note on the MOT. Front tyres down to 2mm tread, back slightly better. Uneven wear, all tyres worn more on outer and inner edges. I do not drive aggresively. So find tyre wear excessive. I would not reccommend these tyres to anyone.

Given 51% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda Mazda3 MPS Aero (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 16 spirited miles
I've had these tyres on my 320 bhp Mazdaspeed MPS (2011) from new and am fairly pleased with them. The set is rotated every 5,000 miles and have experienced twisty fast back roads and extensive motorway driving (no track). They'll need replacing in about 1,000 miles and have covered 16,200 miles to date. However, they are pretty scary in standing water and had me sideways when driving over a hail-covered motorway slip road! Very noisy in everyday use. Will buy Toyo R1-R next.

Given 53% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda Takayu 2.2D (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 13,000 average miles
This is a poor quality tyre. Inspite of driving very carefully has lasted 13000 miles. Useless in icy and snowy conditions. Grip is poor generally. Fuel economy also appears poor

Given 87% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda 6 (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 24,000 average miles
Fitted to my Mazda 6 Takuya (2.2 diesel) from new. I got 24,000 from the front set and expect to get over 40,000 out of the rear set. It seems other review writers need to seriously improve their driving techniques.

Standard fit on my Mazda 3 MPS. Lasted 10000 miles on the front but had to cope with 260 bhp.

Given 24% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda New Mazda 6 Estate Diesel (225-45-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 9 average miles
Fitted as OEM by Mazda on Mazda 6 2.2Sport Diesel Estate, purchased Dec 10. Fronts worn out by 9,500 miles; rears look ok. Have checked tyre pressure regularly at 32psi, so can't be this. This is very poor performance. Won't be choosing these Dunlops again. Grip not great.

Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
OEM fitted to Mazda 6 from new, only covered 12,500 miles when tyres had 2mm across centre. Road noise not bad, but wear really bad. I dont hammer round corners but dont hang about either, saying that ive never had a set of tyres on any car that have covered less than 20,000 miles so in my opinion these are poor. Having a set of Dunlop Sport SP 01's fitted later so we'll see how they perform.

Given 63% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda 5 (205-50-17-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 27 spirited miles
Fitted as standard to the Mazda 5 Sport.They are resonably quiet and handle well in the dry. On hot summer days the compound really starts to work. Although the tread wear on the front and rear are ok, due to the negative camber setup on the front of the Mazda 5, they wear through the inner shoulder and crack the entire tyre carcass long before the tread has worn out.The wet grip is poor. The rears have also cracked with 27,000 mile on, but still with 5mm of tread.Some of the blame lies with Mazda, but some also lies with this tyre.I have had the same problems with 8 tyres.These tyre problems shouldn't happen on an 18 month old car.I am going to try a different make of tyre next to compare.

Driving on mostly motorways for 8,500 average miles
These are fitted as OEM tyres by Mazda at the factory so didnt have a say in their fitment. Grip is very poor in both wet and dry, I have no confidence in them in any speed over 50mph so needless to say I wouldnt know how they perform at the limit. Cannot wait till they wear out so I can get them changed. STEER WELL CLEAR !!!
