Had a set of Falken FK452 prior to chainging over to the Dunlops, have done around 2K on them and found them pretty bad on damp/wet roads, the electronic stability control (ESC) keeps lighting up when i was transversing the highlands road after it poured with rain.
Couldnt remeber the ESC lighting up that much when i was with my old set of wheels.
Be very cautious with this tyre in the wet

Very poor quality in comparison to previous set (Continental SC3)!
Will never buy these again. Wet surface grip is non-existant with wheelspin up to 4th gear, and even on dry surface up to 3rd gear ...
Also very loud, with lots of wear when pushed to the limit.

10k+ miles now done on these, grip & feel are great no notice of change over the miles. Wet as good as dry, my best wear on tyres for a while but that is not important to me. Still got a few thousand miles left.

Western Australia here, satisfaction absolutely compared to the original SP Sport Maxx that were on the car when new. Can't comment on the wet as it's past rain here now as the year moves into summer. Read reports on the noise however I feel as they're a performance tyre a little noise is normal, ride is Ok and I'm more than pleased with the feel, good looks also.

These tyres replaced my OEM Conti Sportcontact 2's and were very noisy for the first 5000 miles even with the correct pressure in the tyres. Gave good grip in the dry and OK grip in the wet. The tyres give apalling grip in cold weather and need to be warmed up before taking them to their limits but were OK once up to temperature. When at the limit they slid nicely with no unexpected behaviour and easy to handle. now on 19K miles they need replacing with 2.5 mm of tread due to cracks appearing between the treadblocks which seems to be common with dunlops. I won't be buying any more of these due to this problem.
