Tyre reviews Dunlop Direzza DZ102. Page 4 220

I'm buying my second set of tires, I really liked the handling, the only downside is that it's a bit noisy, as I drive a GTI, they last exactly one season!!!

I bought a new set in the spring of 2019, drove for 3 seasons, totaling around 30,000 km. The remaining tread is still good for at least one more season. I chose a slightly larger size, wanting more grip and wider tires, so instead of the standard 225/45 for my rims, I took 235/50 R17, which are one-size wider. As for the tire itself - I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER! On wet roads, you'll laugh, but I feel more confident on them than on dry roads, although it seems like on dry roads it's like driving on rails, but that's just it. If you look at the tread pattern, you'll understand why it loves water. I drove into puddles at any speed without feeling a thing. On the highway - it's its element, it sticks like glue. A good new highway - it's unstoppable, you drive 180+ and enjoy it. There's one minus, but it's not necessarily the tire's fault - it's the tendency to follow road grooves, but I think it's due to the size and the BMW, which on wide tires tends to follow grooves on any tire. On winter tires 205/60 16, the tendency to follow grooves is almost imperceptible, maybe it's the Dunlop's fault, I don't know. Personally, it doesn't bother me at all, I have a habit of not driving in the groove, always hugging the right lane, even if I don't feel the groove - I don't drive in it. On rebuilds, the steering gets a bit stiffer. I've driven very aggressively and think that the wear is much less than average, some other tire would have probably reached the cord by now with all the starts and racing I've done. And although the tire loves to be driven aggressively - it's extremely comfortable for city driving, extremely, with all that comes with it. Noise - I think it's quiet. Bulges, cuts - not a single one, but in St. Petersburg, the roads are not bad, and I don't fly over potholes. Punctures - I caught one screw, but it was so clearly stuck that it was discovered when I was changing tires to winter ones, I don't even know how long I drove on it, they pulled it out and that's all the problems I've had in 3 years. I would buy this tire again, but I've never repeated a purchase, and therefore the next one will be different too, and the rims will be different, R18. I've driven on Hankook Ventus Evo in the summer - super, Pirelli - terrible, Direzza - super, Conti Sport Contact - zeroed out in one and a half seasons and a screw every month because it's soft and just sucks them in...

Good value for money. I used them for two months in September and October in the Far North conditions. In November, I replaced them with winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9. I have no complaints about the quality so far. I used to use tires of this brand for 9 years and decided to replace them - it seemed like it was time. But the service said that according to wear, I could still drive on them. That is, the Dunlop brand tires showed themselves to be good in terms of wear quality - but I use a non-aggressive driving style.

Great tires, but a bit noisy, probably due to the high profile, bought at Mosavtoshina 205/45/17 for 8000 rubles per set.

Good tire, quiet, and fairly soft. Holds the road well, comfortable on both highways and city streets. Drove several times to nature with family, also excellent, though on dry road.

The first summer has almost passed on the wheels, I have been driving around the city, making short trips to neighboring towns - all is good. The car is predictable, there is no sign of aquaplaning in the rain, it holds the road, enters a turn without slipping. It has been driven extensively, it doesn't make any noise. No increased wear has been noted. Excellent tire for the price/quality ratio, I think.

Tires grip the road well, even in rainy conditions, aquaplaning was not noticed, comfortable, no complaints about the quality of manufacture, quiet, no complaints about directional stability, I haven't tested high-speed characteristics. Definitely, I would choose Dunlop winter tires.

The tires came with the car. I drove on them all summer, both in the city and on highways, including a trip to Petrozavodsk on vacation.

They hold the road well, and I really liked how they handled on wet asphalt. I also want to note their durability: I rubbed against the curb a couple of times in the courtyard, and caught some potholes - nothing happened. In the cabin it's comfortable, the tires are quiet. <

I bought them for my work VW Polo. Size: 195/55R15. I expected them to last 2-3 years, but with the average mileage of 25,000 - 30,000 km per year, they lasted for only one and a half seasons, which was disappointing. However, they do offer excellent braking performance, handling and resistance to damage.

After my Nokian Hakkas went to the junkyard with bulges after a season and a half, I had to go shopping. I bought the tire on a gut feeling. The result - the tires were just "bomb", no wear and aquaplaning. After Nokian - almost silent. I caught some decent potholes - no signs of bulging. Balanced nicely. Suitable for thrill-seekers and safety enthusiasts.
