I got some Dunlop SP Sports which are good. The BluResponse was not out in this size when I got mine in May 13, but the tyre guy (whose opinion I trust) said they were already gaining an excellent reputation and would have recommended them if available. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Another vote for the Dunlops. I've got the SP Sport Fast Response and the grip is excellent in the dry and wet. Seem to be wearing fine too.Think mine were about £325 fitted for all 4 through Blackcircles. ________________________________________ '98 Nile Blue 306 GTi 6 |

I'll be the forum guinea pig then and try these new bluresponse tyres. Will try and order some at my local garage later.________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

I used Avon ZV5's on the Rallye when I had it. Never had any complaints in the dry or wet, just gave me drip all the time. Never had a scary moment unlike the last tyre I had on...________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |

The BluResponse tyres for the Focus were not available so ended up with SP Sport Fast Response just like on my Ralye (although different size). The Dunlops make the steering a little heavier compared to the Goodyear NCT5 on the Focus before, and it feels really planted and grippy, just like the Rallye. Steering feel is good, nd the car changes direction with alacrity. Good for driving along narrowish B-roads not much wider than the car, camber changes etc. Before the Rallye I hadn't gone for Dunlops before as I wanted something a little more…sporty and exotic maybe, and thought they were too pedestrian. But I am very impressed. Just wish the BluResponse had been available. Looks as though it is living up to the reviews. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Yeah the bluresponse are nicely worn in now. They really are superb. Michelin stopped making the PE2? Couldn't care less these are the dogs dangly bits.________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |
