Dunlop Sportblure­sponse

-

THE increased number of wet tests and inclusion of two assessment­s in summer temperatur­es let the Dunlop get close to the all-season tyres, but leaving one set on all year round will always be a compromise.

On the handling circuit in the snow we were focused on just getting up and down the hills, not setting a time. Traction and braking were much worse than both the winter and all-season tyres.

However, give it a dry track or warm, wet conditions and it is the tyre to have. The gap between the Dunlop and most all-season tyres in braking alone could well be the difference between having an accident and avoiding one.
