Today we are comparing two popular summer tyres: the Petlas Imperium PT515 and the Dunlop Sport BluResponse. Both of these tyres have been put through rigorous testing by companies like Autobild and ADAC to determine their respective strengths and weaknesses.
The Petlas Imperium PT515, manufactured by the Turkish company Petlas, is a summer tyre with a rating of 48%. Based on large-scale testing, it secured a position of 35 out of a total of 53 in Autobild's test and 30 out of 50 in ADAC's test. The positive aspects of this tyre include its high mileage and low wear, but it was also found to have some significant issues. These include an unbalanced performance and substantial weaknesses on both wet and dry roads. Furthermore, it is heavier compared to other tyres, and sustainability seems to be a concern.
On the other hand, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse, produced by Dunlop, has a higher rating of 71%. It had a better position in both Autobild's test (11 out of 53) and ADAC's test (16 out of 50), indicating stronger performance overall. The Dunlop Sport BluResponse scored well on rolling resistance and comfort, proving to be efficient and light on dry roads. However, it showed slight weaknesses on wet roads and had a relatively lower mileage than other tested tyres. Moreover, there were some concerns about its environmental performance.
In terms of mutual test positions, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse outperforms the Petlas Imperium PT515. Its superior features, such as comfort and rolling resistance, make it a more desirable choice. Alternatively, if high mileage and low wear are your top priorities, then the Petlas Imperium PT515 could be a better option.
It should also be noted that neither one of these models has been replaced with a newer version. For further information, please refer to each tyre's respective pages: Petlas Imperium PT515 and Dunlop Sport BluResponse.
To summarize, each tyre has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the final choice may depend on your specific requirements. Whether prioritizing efficiency, comfort, or mileage, both models offer features that might sway your decision.
