Test report: Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 195 65 R15 91T Winter tires

 
DUNLOP is a renowned brand when it comes to car tires. In addition to the summer tire, the tire manufacturer also has winter tires in the assortment, and of course also winter tires in the size 195/65 R15 91T. This includes the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 91T - Winter tire (PKW) - C / C / 69. The name DUNLOP has aroused confidence in Germany since the end of the 19th century. And at that time there were not really many cars and so few interested. Nevertheless, for DUNLOP, whose home is in Ireland, Germany was opened in Hanover in 1893 as the first German branch of the company.  

Very quiet

Renowned tire manufacturer - most consumers wait before the tire purchase, which is heard by the various independent test institutes about the very specific tire you have chosen. In the case of the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 91T, the verdict is that this is a really good tire. The reason for this is the production of any DUNLOP tires that make them super-quiet. This is important to a lot of drivers, because they do not always want a noise from below in the ears while driving. The measured value of the external rolling noise is 69 dB. This tire was classified as Class 1, which relates to the external rolling noise.  

Good driving on wet conditions

Particularly praiseworthy is also the adhesion of the tire to wetness. The DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 91T is classified into the wet grip class B. This is very good because there are also winter tires, which are classified only in the class C. Like the other tire manufacturers, DUNLOP has seen more than 10 (more precisely, 15) performance characteristics of the tire. However, the EU tire label can, of course, only have a small number or selection of these characteristics (characteristics). More precisely, there are only three characteristics that can be used.  

Typical DUNLOP profile

The ultimate DUNLOP tread pattern is that the tire is designed for slush and snow (M + S). The tire also does not compromise on curve behavior and soil adhesion. And for the good performance, the profound design of DUNLOP is also crucial. Particularly noteworthy are the slats in the shoulder area, which DUNLOP has arranged in this position in an oblique position. And the V-shaped profile blocks (also called "Reverse Snowguide") in the middle of the tread of the tire catch the snow right into the tire center. This improves the traction during start-up and also during braking.  

Excellent and well thought-out profile design

The profile design is generally well thought-out, with the high density of the slats acting as a large amount of grip edges, which provide better handling in wet conditions, snow and ice. Driving should be done with the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 91T to a maximum of 190 km / h. This is the upper limit, even if the vehicle should give more from the performance.  

Reduced fuel consumption

That winter tires, if they have the right air pressure and are quite light, like the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15, can save a lot of fuel even in winter is not a fairy tale. This is due to the rolling resistance, which reduces the fuel consumption compared to other manufacturers' tires. Experts say that depending on which reference tires are used, up to 3 percent fuel savings on 100 km are quite realistic. As a result of the new tire guidelines, all tire manufacturers are obliged to further reduce the rolling resistance of their tires. And that does not represent a significant problem for the manufacturers, so also DUNLOP does not. In the case of the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15, the design of the tire itself has also been changed a bit. Thanks to this, it reduces the deformation of the DUNLOP tire when unrolling, resulting in a low rolling resistance which has a positive effect on fuel consumption. This led to the classification of the DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 into the fuel efficiency class C.

Conclusion

Conclusion guy The DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 is an M + S tire and is therefore ideally suited for winter. This tire from DUNLOP fits all vehicles that require this tire size and is an example of good engineering development, especially regarding the profile design. This is well thought-out and has slats in the shoulder area, which are arranged in oblique position. In addition, the profile image also has V-shaped profile blocks in the center of the tread. In particular, these provide good traction during start-up and braking. The DUNLOP - WINTER RESPONSE 2 MS - 195/65 R15 is also fuel - saving. It has a revised rolling resistance and therefore also corresponds to the current tire guidelines. And the price for this DUNLOP quality of less than 70 euros is, of course, also an argument that could certainly stimulate the
