It is difficult to sum up my experience with the tyres, as they are the original set. They are 8yrs old and have traveled 43,000+kms, which is not a bad effort. The car has been driven consistently in Bendigo, a large Victorian country town, with a number of round trips of 300+ kms to Melbourne in that time and the odd 3,200+ kms trips to Nthn NSW. The tread appears to be a reasonable 5mm in depth allround, with it suggested on the latest 42,000 kms service report in Feb '21 that 4 new tyres were required (due to edge wear) and a wheel alignment.

They came with the car when i purchased so didn't really think much of them at first. Driving over the years though, they are great for on-road; good grip and nice and quiet. Not the best for 4wding but I guess that's not really what they were designed for. I also wished they lasted a bit longer!

My Car originally had a set of Bridgestone and had to get them replaced at around 72,000kms. Bought these SP Sport 01s through an online shop and got fitted in Jan 2017. I made sure that they got rotated every now and then. Now the ODO is 183,000s and I believe they got at least another 2,000 - 3,000 left in them. Great Tyre. Made in Japan.

At 56,000km this is the longest I've ever driven on a set of tyres. They're very quiet, safe and handle corners excellently.

Bought car new in 2007 done 30,000kms (car does a few 1000km odd interstate trips a year then light city work.) haven't had an issue with these Dunlops sitting on the barrier highway at 110km/h . Just put 2 new identical Dunlops on the front back ones still at 75%. Definitely recommend these tyres on a small car, great economical option.
