Dunlop SP Sport^® 5000^™

Traction is good ride is not very good at all.

At highway speed the ride is really rough and bumpy. Traction and braking are acceptable. It was a cheap tire and usually you get what you pay for.

Finding

I bought my new car i had a tier puncture unfixable so you have to buy a new one. I called every tier place that might have it including places in other cites and no one has it. I wanted the same so it could match the other new tiers but no one has the tier. And the dealer dosen't have the tier

Not worth your money

Tires only lasted me about 25,000 miles (3 years). What a waste of money. Stick to Goodyear or Bridgestone... better to spend an extra $100 or 200 and know that it will last you an additional couple of years.

Excellent !

This tires hit 70K on my Mazda6 GT 2017 and my daily commute to and fro is 80 miles and these has given my excellent handling and very good life for the miles I drove. downside I am seeing when trying to replace is the price which is more expensive than many of its competitors. But I am going to try another make this time and I am doing my research on my replacement. Suggest me if any....

Dont buy

Worst tire ever. Bought the car with these brand new tire. Very very cheap tires low quality they didnt last me a month and i always drive safe.

Terrible

These came stock on my 2016 Mazda 6 i Touring. Of course just like every other problem I've had with Mazda-from the dealership to the battery to car these tires are terrible. They are incredibly loud...loudest tires I have ever had. The handling is okay. They often skip in rain and snow causing the car to jerk. I have no idea why a dealer would put these on a new car except to screw the owners and profit immensely, which Mazda loves to do. I just replaced all 4 tires after the dealer told me they were 1/42 (yes 42?) of an inch below the warranty coverage. A huge chunk of metal punctured one tire and it was not covered and of course, all tires were in "bad shape" I did get about 38,000 miles out of the tires, but I would have just changed them out from the date of purchase if I could have. They are loud and bumpy and overall terrible tires. Do not purchase if cabin noise will bother you like it does me.

Great tire that makes my Subaru mopre comfortable

I have had a set of SP 5000's installed and the difference between the OEM and the SP's is significant. The SP tires are quieter, ride better and perform better in every category (we haven't had snow yet) and make my car feel safer and more comfortable. The difference between how my car absorbs (or maybe does not generate) road noise vs the OEM tires is night and day, the SP's are so much better feeling and the tires help the car feel more connected with the road. I am very impressed with the SP's, perhaps I wasn't aware of how poor the Avid tires were as they had started to dry rot from lack of use. Either way I am incredibly happy with the SP 5000's, it makes my car feel upgraded.

Great Tire

Great Tire for the price. I live in Hawaii where it rains a lot. Tires grip the wet road like glue. Would get them again.

lasted many miles more than expected

for a low profile, sporty tire, these tires have served me well for 38,000 miles. I really thought I would have to buy tires every 24K to 28K for Summer Performance tires. In reality, I will have gotten 40K miles out of these tires. they were OEM on my Mazda6, I will definitely replace my OEM tires with the same Dunlops. I live in Florida so ice and snow is not an issue down here.

Poor mileage

Original equipment on 2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring. At nearly 25,000 miles they are just about shot and will not make to 30,000 miles. Very lousy mileage for tires that cost nearly $200 each.
