I'm not a tyre specialist, but my impression on this tyre, when I compire it to Continental 850 or Michelin Alpin 4 are very positive and I can recommend this model of Dunlop. My driving is quite aggressive and I usually drive in between the cities. Much less in the city and on the highway. In dry this tyre is just the best. On the wet surface, it holds on well while cornering, but if you brake too hard, you can start drifting despite the ABS. Wet road and leaves on the road: on this type of surface I also happened to drive and on the straight part of the road it's fine, but cornering is not perfect. However still fine. I did not drive in a big snow but in a thin layer I'm kind of surprised. It grips well as if it was going to find the hitch. Ice: unfortunately, no tyre can handle it well. Too much braking and you'll start sliding. In my case, it was enough to get off the ice, for example on the roadside or on an unused part of the road and it was fine. Noise: the tyre is really quiet. Rolling resistance and fuel combustion - let's not be ridiculous, no one is able to evaluate that without the special equipment. Funny how sometimes people write that "the car burns less now" and they're compare conditions in the summer to winter. Remember that the new tyres mean an easy driving because unfortunately the car is floating like crazy, but after beating the distance they maintain beautiful especially during cornering. I hope this comment is helpful. Read more Collapse

On this tyre I have driven less than 3000 miles so there is nothing to judge yet. First of all in this class sometimes bad tyres happens as well (I couldn’t balance one out of four that I previously had) but this time the exchange went smoothly. As for tyres: they’re quiet, the grip is fine on dry asphalt. So far I’ve tested them on ice sprinkled with fresh snow and they are very good. Breaking went fine. I have 4x4 drive and the car accelerates just like on wet asphalt - for me that’s a revelation. At high speeds also I can’t hear these tyres. When it comes to wear I thisnk it should be enough for 30000 miles because of the warmth in winter wright now and frequent temperatures above 5 degrees. They ideally feel the moment when the slippage occurs and give you a trouble-free ability to cope with the situation. For me, when my car weighs 2 tons the catch during slipping is important. When it's happening these tyres give grip and I can feel comfortable. Heavy engine guarantees me that the front will hold on and the rear axle will slip, so it is easy to pull off the car. I personally can recommend this tyre. In conclusion, other tyres are also good, but these are the quietest I've ever had. And in the New Year I wish all even roads, low fares and goodwill on the road. PS. They also look good (for those who pay attention to the look). Read more Collapse

I needed quite a long time before I made my mind and decided to buy these tyres. They were not cheap, but safety on the road is the most important so I bought a set. I’ve driven around 1500 miles in different conditions (dry pavement, rain, mud, ice). I drive moderately, decisively, but without madness (34 years on the road and over 1 million miles). I must admit one thing - they are amazing and I do not regret my decision to buy this model. Previously I was driving on Pirelli Sotto Zero Winter and I had some problems with them. My Honda Accord did not work on slippery slopes and it was difficult to get out of the snow too. Now I have the feeling of comfort while driving in all conditions. I've tested these tyres on mud and wet roads. On those Pirelli tyres my rear wheel was turning about 90 degree at a speed 35mph. Now nothing happens. Honda keeps the track well. The great advantage is also the low noise level and excellent attenuation of road imbalances. I have a hard suspension (all Hondas do), but these tyres make me confident and will not do any harm. Rolling resistances on both dry and wet surfaces do not cause annoying noise. It’s just quiet inside the car. In conclusion, it is worth spending a little more money on these tyres to ensure comfort and safety in winter. I RECOMMEND these tyres a lot. Read more Collapse

I’ve read a lot of reviews and looked at many winter tyre tests. When I decided to buy these tyres I didn’t have any opinion. The previous model 4D has very good reviews, so I found that the fifth generation can not be worse and ordered a set of Dunlop Winter Sport 5 tyres. These tyres do very well on mud and snow. In the rain the tyre is simply excellent. I didn’t know that the winter tyre can drain the water so well. The tyre is neither too hard nor too soft, so driving on them is so the quality of driving is at a very high level. These are tyres with low rolling resistance and this has a significant effect on fuel consumption. Today I’ve mounted Bridgestone’s summer tyres and they are clearly louder. The Dunlops were so much quieter. I can recommend these tyres to anyone who has an intention of buying winter tyres. Read more Collapse
