ADAC Summer tyre test 2023 205/55 R16
good
Ranked #16 of 50

Securing the 16th position among 50 competitors, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse showed a commendable performance in its category, garnering a final rating of 'Good'. It exhibited excellent handling and efficiency on dry conditions, marking itself as a reliable choice for dry road performance due to its precise steering and short braking distance. However, its performance was not without flaws. The tyre faced criticism for not being fully balanced, demonstrating slight weaknesses on wet roads which led to a downgrade in its overall rating. Additionally, its environmental footprint was also a point of concern, primarily due to its relatively low mileage which further impacted its evaluation negatively. Despite good scores in wear and fuel consumption, and a very positive assessment of its weight, its environmental and durability aspects could not achieve a rating beyond satisfactory. This mixed performance reflects its strengths in providing safety and efficiency on dry pavements while highlighting areas for improvement in wet conditions and environmental sustainability.
