Tyre reviews Dunlop SP Sport 01. Page 2 1290

The noisy nightmare, I've driven on it 70,000 km, the rest on a winter Nokian (one of some sort), winter is quieter. Initially it was like normal, but somewhere after 40,000 km a noise started appearing, and now it's just a nightmare, a constant rumble. Everything is balanced, no vibrations, and wear is not critical, both in mileage and visual inspection. After 110 degrees Celsius it's a disaster!

Excellent tires. Very low rolling resistance. At the 17 inch diameter, when the gas pedal is released, the vehicle does not slow down very quickly and rolls for a long time, which positively affects fuel consumption.

I bought Dunlop Sport 01 225/50/R17 in exchange for the same factory winter of 2015 in Mosavtozine. They delivered on time and in due time. The received tyre was of British production, but the original one was made in Germany, but this did not affect the quality characteristics. Deep grooves, I think, will also allow to drive for a long time, and in the next 3-4 years, the tyre will not need to be

Great tire. I've driven thousands of kilometers on it since 2012. It has a fantastic tread life. I'll be swapping it for another one like it, because I missed the uneven wear and one of the tires bit down to the cord, and I would have at least gotten another season out of it otherwise.

I got German-made tyres, size 185/65 R15
You wouldn't call them quiet, but they aren't noisier than my original Goodyear GT-3s
Compared to my old original tyres, car's handling improved, steering became sharper, braking is more predictable, and now I have to hold the wheel tighter on the track

I found the BT 016pro Tje to be the perfect tire for the rider who uses their bike in all conditions throughout the year. It warms up quickly, provides excellent traction and stability on both wet and dry roads and gives you the confidence to ride, lasting over 1800 miles on a power bike!!

As for wear and tear, the tire was good for 45,000 km, even with fast driving. The downsides were the noise, stiffness and aquaplaning, which was not the best. I wouldn’t buy it again, unfortunately, my car only has summer tires available at the moment.

Car from the showroom.
Severe wear of the wave on the outer edge on all wheels
already after a mileage of 15,000 - and this is the first season!
After the wave appeared, the hum in the cabin unbearable.
Comfortable driving - forget about it!
As a consequence
second season - loss of directional stability and the start of aquaplaning.

Stiff as nails, so will last forever, which is annoying if you don't like them. They hum and vibrate on anything but smooth roads. Grip well enough on dry, and not too bad on wet roads, but ungrateful to move. Plenty of notice before they let go. In summary - safe enough, durable, but not rewarding at all.

Doesn't inspire any confidence in the wet, allowed too much understeer. penalty in the dry, but there are better tyres out there for less money! Now have Firestones, and they are fantastic on wet roads!
