Vauxhall 1.6 16v CD
(225/45 R17)
on
for 20,000 easy going miles
Tyre grip is fine, feedback is good, noise level, acceptable. What isn't acceptable is longevity. stones/imperfections in the the road surface leave small tears in the tyres. at 6mm, these tears become quite a tear. Enough to cause a puncture or to see the steel of the tyre.
Overall, a poor quality, expensive choice of tyre. There are better tyres out there. I would consider a budget tyre before purchasing another Dunlop and that's not a choice I usually make!
3 tyres replaced two pre 10k punctured, one at 19k holed to steel.
One now being replaced at 30k (1.7mm tread left) thankfully, as it has so many little tears in it.
Vauxhall Vivaro 2014 1.6 bi-turbo
Not a heavy footed driver at all. trying to get 48mpg from it (42mpg avg at present)

These were fitted as OE on my new 2017 Trafic LWB crewvan sport. Fronts after 16k miles are tearing, blocks of tread have split.Poor quality tyre.

Mercedes Benz Vito
(225/45 R17)
on mostly country roads
for 20,000 easy going miles
Very poor. I used it on my Mercedes-Benz Vito 2017 with 225/55r17. It uncomfortable and no grip at all when wet, It made a very loud squeeze sound in every tight turn and every time when heavy brake. I used it until 20,000 Miles and I found cracks for all, It very dangerous and I never buy It again.

Nissan LEAF Tekna
(215/50 R17 V)
on a combination of roads
for 3,000 average miles
Review for Dunlop Enasave as fitted from factory to Nissan Leaf Tekna model.
Good comfort and low noise levels (vital for EVs with no engine noise !). Dry grip fine, wet grip average. Should be good for energy efficiency, but a pretty average tyre overall, with an inflated price over other more mainstream premium brand tyes. Will probably replace with Dunlop BlueResponse when the time comes, or perhaps Michelin CrossClimate if i donl;t buy a second set of wheels and tyres for specific winter use.
