Dunlop SP Touring T1 170/70 R13 Suzuki Alto 1.0L May 30, 2024
Worst Tyres. I drove only 26000 KM and my all Tyres had repaired for more than 10 times. Additionally, i found one bubble on my rear Tyre. I immediately changed all the tyres. I won't recommend the purchase of Dunlop T1

Silverstone M3 Synergy 170/70 R13 Mitsubishi Proton Saga FLX 6,000 miles May 2, 2016
Factory feed into Proton Saga FL 2011 manual transmission model in all 4 tires 175/70r13 in steel rim. On dry hot summer day, grip is OK but will have a big spin if accelerate too much on 1st gear. Braking on dry day also need to keep a minimum distance of 2 sedan car.
When after rain town road, things is more challenging. Turning in corner on 90 degree road on 60kph is NO responsive for 2 second on steering wheel. Then the next time have a 90 degree turn on the other place of town road, the car spin 180 degree.
Contact width area on 13 inch tires is too little on surface road. Strongly not recommended to feed into 13 inch wheel.
