Just had these fitted, very happy - grippy and quiet. Will report back in a few thousand miles, but so far so good.

Good tyres, got my car with random mismatch tyres on all 4 corners and found these for what I see as reasonable price, and ended up having them on all 4 corners now, good grip in wet, good grip in dry, they are awful in the snow, (or my cars awful in the snow, not sure but use to be fine in saxo with random midrange tyres on). Feel like the car doesn't accelerate to its full potential, but when your up to speed the grip is immense, so you can just keep the momentum going haha
The fronts are about ready for a new set about 1.8mm left and rears have 2.8mm left so will need changing soon too. That's after 12000 miles of spirited driving, between dual carrageways 50% and town/villages 50%.
More than likely will buy again, just looking at minute for something that will allow to accelerate abit quicker maybe Michelin pilot sport 3's, but not sure if its worth changing from a tyre I know I'm really happy with to a tyre that's pretty much same, or better, but possibly won't be.

Road noise is excessive and had to change them.
Average grip in wet and dry.
Too soft for my liking.
Car took longer to accelerate.

These tyres do perform well BUT they aren't very good on economy. On my previous tyres (Avon ZV3's) I was getting 49.5 to the gallon but the Dunlops only 45.5. So what I may have saved on the price of tyres I've paid for in Diesel.
I would happily go back to the Avon's once these have worn out.

Replaced Pirelli PZero Rosso's with these and they have transformed the cars abitiity in the wet by miles. Quiter and softer with brilliant dry grip also. V impressive. Not sure about wear as yet, but after 1000 miles they still look new. Therefore, I won't be going back to Pirellis again

Comfortable, quiet tyre which grips well and isn't too expensive to buy. However the wear is terrible on my car, On my moderately driven Golf V5 the front tyres are nearly down to the wear indicators after only 9000 steadily driven miles.
