Tyre reviews Dunlop Direzza DZ102 220

I've driven on Bridgestone Potenza RE050A for around 70,000 km, the tire was excellent, but I couldn't afford a new one of the same quality, so I decided to opt for a normal mid-range tire, scrolled through a lot of reviews and stumbled upon Dunlop Direzza, ordered it, installed it and I wasn't disappointed, at least for now I couldn't say it's worse or better than the Bridgestones, but at the moment they're

I bought these tires in late April and immediately installed them. I had been running on Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31 tires during that season, but was unable to get new ones, so I bought the Dunlop, and I wasn't disappointed at all! I chose 195/50R15 for my Honda Civic, which has a 2.4-liter engine, and I drive aggressively. As for the tires, the pros are:

Size 225/50R17.Used on Mondeo 4.Was bought at 4750 each when the model was first released.New:balance - excellent,tread geometry - excellent,operational characteristics - excellent,perform perfectly in the rain.After a season (15000 km):balance - two wheels - good,two - medium,tread geometry of two wheels is impaired, but overall not bad.After two seasons (approx. 30000 km) - two wheels - enough for half a

The tire is great.
It’s quiet. The rim on the wheel is great, the response on active steering is great. It holds its course well, doesn’t notice any camber.
Drove over a nasty pothole at 100km/h with the right wheel – no bumps.

The tyre surprised me. It goes around corners perfectly, not a peep! I thought that since it's stiffer than the previous one, it would be noisier - but nothing. Quiet. The braking is super, acceleration too is normal. I haven't been able to try it on puddles yet. I took a size 205/55 R16. I'm satisfied so far. At +5 degrees it's not particularly noisier, nor does it sound like plastic.

Dunlop. Two contradictory impressions of the rubber. It seems to be soft, yet hard at the same time. It behaves well during turns and sharp maneuvers. I hit potholes (of various kinds) without any issues. Aquaplaning was not observed, but it can be dependent on speed. Distance travelled over the past season and in this one over the past two months is 53,000 km. Remaining tread depth is 3 mm. I rotate the tires every 10

I hope this review will be helpful to someone.

I purchased these tires to replace the Bridgestones (18555R15) on my Honda Jazz. The tyre balanced very well. It feels a bit stiff, but has excellent stability on straightaways, and in corners it holds very well. It's also very good in the rain. It's a bit noisy. I would recommend it!

The tire holds the road perfectly, both on straight sections and in turns, whether they are long or sharp. At a speed of 130 km/h and above, it behaves predictably, the car does not float, it goes like on rails. I did not allow emergency braking during the operation of the car on this tire, so I cannot say how it would behave in such a situation, but I dare to assume that nothing critical will happen)

In the rain, the tire confidently behaves on the road, at a speed of 120, I flew into a puddle on the highway, the car, of course, slowed down, but nothing else happened, no aquaplaning, no loss of control for a second, nothing like that, maybe because the tire is still new, who knows)) As for the noise, I won't say anything special, since I don't pay attention to the noise from the tire, because for me, the grip with the road is much more important than the noise from the tire, the wheels are the only thing that connects my car to the road, so that's my answer))

General impressions: I bought the same tire for the second car, I really liked it according to all criteria. The directional beautiful aggressive tread, wide shoulders of the contact patch at the edges of the tire, and water drainage inspire confidence on the road and actually do their job, everything suits me very much)) If only the price were a bit lower, it would be great))

Tires are great, soft and quiet. Very comfortable to drive at all speeds. Drove 10,000 km, and that's not even a benchmark, but at this stage I'm very satisfied. In terms of handling, I can say that due to the softness of the tires, and the suspension, not even small road irregularities are absorbed very well.

High-end tire. Very quiet, extremely stable in turns, and predictable. Reaches speeds of up to 180 km/h and hugs the road perfectly, no need to go any faster. No aquaplaning whatsoever, tested multiple times. Made in Thailand. The most important thing is to break it in, initially it doesn't hold the road well, so the first 200-300 km are for breaking it in, gradually. I compared it to a lot of others, and this one
