These are the factory-fitted tyres of my MINI F56. They are run flat so didn't expect them to be comfortable and quiet. For regular city and highway driving these tyres perform okay in both dry and wet conditions. They are decent tyres but clearly not made for sports as they keep slipping when driving hard.

While these tyres came with my Subie brand new, I'd definitely buy them again. I am due in about 3 months so they've lasted quite well & I've had no issues. They look good, suit the vehicle (I prefer not to have European tyres on my Japanese car). I have had 3 roof screws in 3 years which is unlucky but had been quickly, easily & cheaply fixed by my local wheel & tyre guys. Dunlop is a well known brand I trust so for the price, they're a winner.

The tyres were fitted by manufacturer but did not do the car justice as to it's performance. As the tyres wore their performance drop off dramatically.

Very good all-round performer even in snowy conditions. I especially liked the strong sidewalls given going into potholes and scraping the sides of kerb but the cost per piece is high.

Excellent tyre! So much so, I'm looking for same exact pair next or the new version of! I bought my WRX new and haven't had to changed the tyres in 5+ years, and done over 36,500 km's! just rotated them every service. Excellent performance in wet or dry, ultra grippy! great for short city runs or long highway hauls! quiet, reliable, safe & long wearing tyre! I cant fault them! (well, they could be a little bit cheaper) 5/5!

N/A 245/40R18 19000 July 24, 2019
Tyres were on the vehicle when purchased in 2019 and were  used on a daily basis for a 15-25 minute drive to work on the Sunshine Coast, and have done a few trips into the Sunshine Coast hinterland area on weekends. 4000 of the 19000 kms were highway driving between Mackay and the Sunshine Coast ( 2 x return trips) Worst wearing tyres I've ever owned, the extent of the  tyre wear was noticed when wheel alignment was booked in and car was on the hoist. Personally I would not recommend these tyres to anybody thinking of purchasing them.

First set of tyres on this vehicle. Very happy with 55k before replacement. Good louse and comfort levels. Started to get slippery over the last few thousand. Need to keep up with balance, rotation and alignments. Bit pricey when shopping for new shoes so went with other brand.
