I drove on unsealed mushy Tasmanian mountain roads on a winter holiday, and never got bogged. The tyres never skidded or spun, which really surprised me (but I also drove very cautiously). Handling in city traffic was very sure-footed and responsive. I also lived in a rural area driving on gravel roads, and the tyres gripped very well. There was a feeling of superior safety with this tyre. Over 20 years, I had five different sets of quality tyres on this car (2 sets were sports tyres). The SP 200E out-shone them all in overall handling and road grip, in many different driving conditions. BUT, they lasted less than 50000 km (and I did not drive abusively), so I probably wont buy them again. However, I don t regret it because of the safety issue.Read more

Original fitting on a Toyota Corolla. This car has been driven sensibly for 100,000 km and the tyres rotated regularly. Two of the five tyres are the originals.
Dangerous in wet, poor at best in dry conditions. Long milage tyres with very low performance in all conditions. I ended up leaving the bitumen on a sharp downhill corner on the first wet day the tyres saw and ended up in a ditch.

I ended up leaving the bitumen on a sharp downhill corner on the first wet day the tyres saw and ended up in a ditch. I ve been driving for 30yrs and was accused of not driving to the conditions. I stress that you purchase these at your own risk. They give little to no warning of their limitations in wet conditions. Not worth the money or name (sport).Read moreSimilar opinion? Write a review!

Dunlops drops us. Have purchased Dunlop tyres for our falcons for many years, being standard equipment when it came time to put new rubber on, we went the same tyre again, our first set got 51000km out of them, the new set we got 7000km out of the rears only. Fronts a ...Have purchased Dunlop tyres for our falcons for many years, being standard equipment when it came time to put new rubber on, we went the same tyre again, our first set got 51000km out of them, the new set we got 7000km out of the rears only. Fronts are like new. Went back to Jax Tyres moss st and they inspected the rears, they agreed this was very unusual, they arranged for the Dunlop rep to inspect, he took one look and stated The car has been thrashed Now Mr Dunlop rep if you had looked at the computer range on the car, you would see the range around town is 620km now the computer calculates how the vehicle is operated and gives you the range, drive hard and it s low, drive slow and it s high, this range shows the car is driven very casually. Now you would not talk to me. A 52 year old professional driver whom drives 200000k s plus a year in a bdouble truck. I get three times the mileage out of tyres on a truck they weights 62 Tonnes!!!!! My car an 2011 FG XR6 Sedan gets driven maybe 200k s a month and your telling me it s how I drive. Ok when we purchase our cars we have the full wheel alignment done front and rear, its the same when we have new rubber fitted also we run nitrogen in them for even inflation and wear, all we wanted was for you to look at these tyres, we DID NOT want a refund or a special deal, but no you would not even talk with me, well you need to do the math here, we have owned 12 Fords in the past decade they all have a tyre change, that s 44 new tyres, but guess what Pirelli will get the trade now....Read moreSimilar opinion?

When I shop around for new tyres people talking to me to change to the cheaper 185/65/R14 from Bridgestone or Goodyear. But I still have one spare of Dunlop tyre so I decided to stick with it. The new tyres I got was sp sport 200/made in japan (not sure what difference between 200 and 200E). I notice that the new tyres run significantly quiet compare to the old one, perhaps because there is more rubber in the thread. Overall I am quite happy with it.Read more

Didn t have any problems with them wet or dry conditions, only replaced them because of damage to one tyre from a bolt that had dropped out of someone s trailer coupling. They were about 30% worn when I purchased vehicle, I did 25K on them and they still had at least another 10K of life. Would have gone the same as replacements but GT 228 s were a lot cheaper.Read more
Terrible These are a long-life tyre but in this case that s not a good thing. The longer you have poor performing tyres on your vehicle the greater the chance that you ll encounter a situation where better tyres would have prevented or mitigated an accident. ...These are a long-life tyre but in this case that s not a good thing. The longer you have poor performing tyres on your vehicle the greater the chance that you ll encounter a situation where better tyres would have prevented or mitigated an accident. Probably the most useful thing I could say here however is that when it comes to tyres you just can t trust the reviews you read on a site like this. The vast majority of drivers on the roads don t know the first thing about tyres. Best to look around for some independent tyre reviews performed by industry professionals.Read moreSimilar opinion?
