DO NOT BUY Dunlop tyres! My car came with them already fitted and the front offside tyre developed a defect after about 10000 miles in the form of an egg in the sidewall. As my car is a quattro I had to replace two tyres at a cost of almost £600, but expected to get a refund once Dunlop had confirmed the defect. Instead they insisted that there was no manufacturing defect, and refused to refund me the cost as they said I had either gone down a pothole or kerbed the wheel. I was interested to know how I would kerb an offside wheel! Apart from the fact that it was an offside wheel I don't make a habit of driving at speed into kerbs with wheels which would cost a small fortune to replace. I also told them that I hadn't been down any potholes with that particular wheel, although the nearside front has been down some enormous potholes without any damage.
I am still in dispute with them, but I've lost total confidence in their products, and certainly won't be replacing any of my currernt tyres with Dunlops.
Apart from the above they are also quite noisy, sometimes the only thing I can hear, apart from the stereo, is the tyre roar.

Car came with Potenza RE40s - Which were good in the dry but the comfort was terrible and were very noisy for the last half of their life. Switched to F1 Asymmetric and the difference in noise & comfort was excellent even as they wear.
Very good grip in wet and dry even on a heavy car.
Will buy again.
