Across 168 reviews, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse is most often described as a quiet, comfortable summer tyre with strong dry braking/handling and very reassuring wet grip and aquaplaning resistance. Many drivers also report low rolling resistance with noticeable fuel-economy benefits. The most common downsides are faster-than-expected tread wear and a soft/weak sidewall feel that can reduce steering precision and, for some, lead to sidewall damage or puncture sensitivity.

Very good tyre. I drive daily through a mounting pass and since O got these tyres two years ago it's been real pleasure to speed on the turns. Very stable grip. Wear is promising. I think to be far from halflife as of now. So far very stable on wet. I didn't have any aquaplanning to observe behaiviour since I drive very cautiously. I obay safety first rule because of the bodies I've seen on the road. I think milage and long life pays off the little extra cost. Keeping cruising speed at no more than 100 km/h I get below 5.0 l/100km.
WASTE OF MONEY: I bought a pair of Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyres in December 2016. At the time I chose the brand Dunlop as I thought that it had a good name. I fitted the tyres at the front of my 3 year old Yeti 1.4 diesel Greenline which had done under 40,000 miles on the original Continental tyres that were from new. It is now April and the car has done at the most 6,000 miles and I have 4mm left of thread. My 3 year old original Continental back tyres that have more thread than the 4 month old front Dunlop tyres. Yes they are quiet, have average grip and have good fuel efficiency but i give them zero longevity. I intend to stay well clear away from Dunlop or Good year for that reason.

After 45.000 km (on heavy car - 1350kg), I can say that these tyres are awesome. Last long, comfortable, superb handling. All the best I can say for them. I'll buy them again.

Replacing the runflats on my BMW 118d, I chose these for the high wet and dry grip ratings and noise levels. While it took a bit of experimentation to get the pressures right (31 front, 30 rear) these are much quieter and more comfortable than the Hankook runflats I had on before. The noise is more of a white noise hiss than the typical roar of a tyre. Very good.
Fitted these to my 2009 1.25 Fiesta, I found these tyres great handling and quiet, with astonishing wet grip and cornering.
However on a modestly powered and lightweight car within less than 8000 miles, mainly driven on local A and B roads they have shown considerable wear, particularly on the front driven wheels, while I would expect the fronts to wear quicker on a front wheel drive vehicle, I feel the amount of wear is excessive for the mileage covered. I will be trying Goodyear EfficentGrip Perfomance which are similarly priced hopefully they will offer similar performance with better durability.
Excellent in dry grip is very good I would say the same for wet handling...But on the wear I can say after approximately 25.000 klms some cracks on the center line of the tyre were a bit of inconvenient..Generally I drive approximately 10.000 klms per year in all road conditions and I have them.now for 33.000 klms... Regarding the label for fuel consumption I would personally say no big deal...In general I am happy with them compared to Continental premium contact 2 that my car came with...Would by them again.
Have bought two 195/55 H15 for the front of my Skoda and felt an immediate improvement in noise levels and ride quality as soon as I drove out of the the tyre fitter's garage! Was so impressed a couple of miles down the road that I seriously considered going back to buy two more for the rears. Only my wife stopped me by reminding me how I'd been complaining earlier in the day about all the expenses that were "piling up". Paid £140.98 fitted for the pair at National Tyres, which was a good price, as many others were quoting £80 - 90 ea for this tyre and other suitable brands. Puttingg price to one side though, I decided on the Dunlop's as I was impressed by the good ratings given in each class for economy, wet weather performance and noise levels. On the basis of my limited experience so far (re the excellent noise levels and ride quality) I hope the high test ratings for economy and braking performance will also be born out as I clock up further miles. Am looking forward to fitting a further two to the rear as soon as I've worn the originals further, and The Good Lady gives permission!
Good tyres but do not last long. Have been using for the last four years. Been changing my front ones twice in a year. They do wear a lot. Do around 12k miles a year. Bit expensive for my test. Otherwise they're quiet, handles my car well and really grips in corners.
I have these tyres fitted to my 2.0 l Mazda 6 but will fit something different next time. They have done about 15k miles but the tread on both the inside and outside edges has virtually disappeared. I check the tyre pressures monthly and have had the tracking and suspension checked. The grip is generally OK in most conditions. Road noise seems to have increased with wear.
Had these tyres fitted approx. 12 months ago and have done about 8500 miles on the rear of my Skoda Fabia, I paid approx. £62/£63 for them and at that price where very good value, although they seem to have gone up in price now, good in both dry and wet weather, very little road noise and seem to be lasting on the rear well. I would buy these tyres again IF I was happy with the price and could get them for under £70.
Fitted these to the front of my A6 2.0 tdi brilliant grip in the wet and dry . I have been very pleased with these tyres but as they get near the wear marks they have got very noisy , sound like a worn wheel bearing. Have only managed to get just over 14000 miles out of them.
Alarming, complete lack of grip in an inch or two of snow and slush, will never touch these tyres again, or any other Dunlop product. Not looking forward to my next journey !
