I'm sure they's suit most cars, but I'd highly recommend for a Magna / 380, Camry, Falcon or Commodore. Overall I'd definitely get these tyres again if they can last 10 years and there was an offer but I'd also recommend the Goodyear EfficientGrip. I can't rate these tyres for emergency braking or durability as I've only put a few hundred kms on them. Somehow the steering seems 'lighter' when driving the car now which is great when parking but I think it makes the car feel slightly less 'accurate' than the EfficientGrip. Noise is only slightly louder than the EfficientGrip, but still very good. Grip in the wet is excellent thank to the wide and deep channels.
I'm not a hoon, but I do tend to accelerate quite quickly so I need good traction.Ĭompared to the Goodyears, I would say these are more comfortable and absorb a little more of the roughness of Australian roads. As the front wheels have to steer and drive the front wheels, cheap tyres tend to spin on greasy roads at traffic lights. (The EfficientGrip had since been replaced by EfficientGrip Performance and an EfficientGrip Performance 2 is availabe in some markets, but Goodyear didn't reply to my question as to when it would be sold in Australia (win for Dunlop). I was considering getting a new set of EfficientGrips because they have lasted 10 years and they have been outstanding in all seasons, but Bob Jane were able to offer a buy-3-get-1-free offer on these Dunlops FM800s instead. I'm comparing my new tyres to my previous tyre Goodyear EfficientGrip.
