Tyre reviews Dunlop Graspic DS3. Страница 3 243

My first normal car, Accordion CB3 sedan 1991, 2 liters, 133 hp. Buying Dunlop Graspic DS3 185/65 R15 made me very happy. In the winter (operation from +5 to -35) it was just a pleasure on ice. The only flaw is that it doesn't like snowy mush, but copes with it. Having run about 30,000 km, there is no visible wear. What I liked, was that

Good tires for regular driving - I don't press the gas pedal to the floor on icy roads, I don’t change lanes at 140 km/h on a snowy patch.
Fresh snow, packed snow, ice - enters the corners without skidding.
Effective braking
Slipped only on bare ice on a steep incline when starting from a standstill.
No sign of wear even after one season :).
The price is a bit higher than domestic tires

I went out on the tire and was quite unimpressed. It trails behind the previous bridge WS-60 in all parameters. It only handles decently on fresh, unworn snow. Worn snow, powdery mess, and ice - constant stress. You don't feel the car at all, and in turns you constantly think you're going to start sliding - no, it's just moving along, and you're constantly on edge trying to figure out what's happening, and it's

I previously drove on Dunlop WS M3, a fantastic tire. I decided to try the DS3 since it's also on my second car DS 2. I thought it would perform just as well, but I was mistaken.

Tire:

1. Very aggressive
2. Snow: 3/5, mediocre performance
3. Entering a turn at high speed is very hazardous
4. On ice, the car stops abruptly, almost to a standstill
5. ABS wear

Personally, I think the tire is great, but it's a bit slippery on bare ice, but if you drive carefully, it's fine. Also worth noting is its weak traction, as it tends to swerve to one side when starting from a standstill, but again, it's all within acceptable limits.

In conclusion, I'd say there are some downsides, but they're not major, and I really liked the tire. I'd also like to note its excellent durability,

Good tire in terms of price, quality, handling, and quite quiet, in my opinion the only drawback is the handling on wet icy surface. Overall good Japanese quality for a low price.

I had different winter tires and had two sets of ContiA/S and Dunlop DS-3. I compared them with my YOKOHAMA IG30 (hard-compound) and Blisk-GZ which are absolutely the same as the DS-3, the only thing being that the DS-3 are slightly softer which makes them less sharp on acceleration. I drive on a Dunlop and I am absolutely satisfied, they have never let me down on snow and ice. I even tried braking

Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with these tires - they don't live up to the manufacturer's claims. Didn't notice any advantages in how the Graspic DS3 ("glass fibers cutting through ice") brakes compared to cheaper alternatives. Not worth the money.

Great tire for the price. Only two issues:
1. Very noisy, especially during off-season and in the summer
2. And as a result - loss of control on a wet road.
Summary:
Perfect for snow-covered and icy roads and city streets.

I've driven through the winter on these tires.
The car is a Toyota Corolla Levin 165hp.
Fast acceleration on ice and winter roads was not always successful, I was often overtaken by the same Lada, while I struggled with wheelspin standing still. :)
For the upcoming year, I dream of studded tires.
I didn't particularly complain about the effectiveness of braking, although there was one extreme situation of my own fault,
