Dry and wet grip are the strongest themes for the Dunlop SP Sport FM800, praised by 30 and 25 of 49 owners respectively. The 54 reviews average 79.6%, with 45 positive, six neutral and three negative. Value attracts 18 favourable comments and none negative, while low noise is praised 15 times against four complaints. Tread life is more variable, with nine favourable and four critical comments, including later-life accounts of both long service and early replacement. A small minority describe grip declining as it wears, but repeat-owner experiences do not show a consistent deterioration pattern. Comfort and dry handling also receive several positive mentions, supporting the generally favourable everyday impression.

3rd set. For ve commy. Bf ute 2wd Hilux. I reckon bang for ya buck, real safe wet weather and summer tyre(southern TAS) not a Pirelli sport, but seriously good in wet
Too much noisy tyre. Covered 54000 kms on this. Too many punctures every now and then. Steering got extremely hard. Replacing them when one of the tyres got a bulged bubble type thing on the inside. Extreme hard tyres.

Very good tires. Good grip and short braking distance. Very quiet too and definitely felt lighter than my previous t005 (which were excellent too but 205mm). Cheaper than the bigger brands and so far been very confident with these tyres in wet and dry.

Min point of my review was to highlight the very high wear rate. I only got 24,000kms out of a set on rear of our Mercedes C200 Wagon. This is just driven around town for general family use.

I have Skoda Octavia 1.4.
Firs I had Continental EcoContact 5 (terrible tires), then I switched to the Dunlop SP Sport FM800 and it was amazing!
The dry and wet grip is great and the Straight Aqua is way batter then other tires.
The downside is the wear, I drive around 50,000 KM per year and it last less than 2 years.
FM800 wasn’t official model that is brought in by DUNLOP AD in Singapore.
It is made in Thailand, however the price is very competitive against big name like Michelin / Goodyear and even other official Dunlop models.
My previous tyre were Bridgestone T005A that was fitted on my car that come with dealer.
FM800 performance was better than T005A in most of the aspect especially over Comfort, low noise and decent grip in dry / wet.
I have a ford fiesta ecoboost and do spirited driving daily in South Africa. These tyres have lasted me easily over 60 000km. They are strong and deal with potholes with no issue. Grip is substantial in dry but I don't feel as confident in the wet. All in all I would definitely buy again for the price!
Really great semi-performance tyres.
I put these on my '90s hot hatch daily. A AE92 Toyota Corolla FX GT.
The dry and wet grip are excellent.
Driving feel is good but not excellent.
No squeal when pushed hard and very predictable tyres.
These would be great on a semi performance car.
I do hard launches and push my car on a daily bases. Haven't lost grip once.
Stopping is also very good, tyres have great stopping power and don't lose grip and lock up.
Would 100% recommend and definitely would buy again.
In Jan 2023 , south africa factory no treadwear rating ,still better than Michellin, Bridgestone, Hankook.No wonder on drivers rating its 2nd only to VREDESTEIN.As of today i paid 1 for 3900 mur while Michellin was 7000+ mur and Hankook K125 was 6000+ mur.driving on those is like driving on gel
