Default Just ordered Dunlop Blueresponse SP Sport Tyres for the 75

Just ordered Dunlop Blueresponse SP Sport Tyres for my dad's 75 in 225 45 r17 size. Wet grip A, fuel efficiency B and tyre noise 69db for £70 each. Online reviews seem to be good for these.

Anyone running these tyres or ran them in the past, any feedback on how good they are?

Cheers

Very quiet tyres, make the car feel very refined, especially on an auto

If he bought the 75 for refinement then he is going to be very pleased with his choice.

I have had mine on for about 3000 miles now, and they are very smooth, thats on 15" wheels. Cant vouch for any other wheel sizes.

Blue response and Goodyear Efficientgrip are almost the same spec, and i did not know which to buy. I bought the Goodyear, but know someone who has the Dunlops and they say that they are good in the wet and quiet.

I fitted 2 Dunlop BlueResponse Sport to my Tourer a month or so ago. The best tyres I have ever had. They replaced 2 Hankook Eco tyres that are also very highly rated. The Dunlops are far more refined and I still notice the reduction in noise. Im a happy bunny in deed and I wont fit anything else now.
