No experience with either. If trying Bluearth, will appreciate a separate thread review or tap on the existing Bluearth one and feedback..

I am planning to get this Dunlop D05 too for 195/50R15. Saw on 11street selling at quite reasonable pricing.

They even share Tips to buy at cheaper pricing. lol

I changed all 4 of my tyres to this recently. They are 16 inch ones.

So far the tyres has been of moderate satisfaction for me. I was previously using Michelin XM2. Noise level, moderate. Dry grip pretty good. Wet grip acceptable, going thru some moderate water puddle you will feel something. Durability, not sure since still new.

yesterday drove down to KL from Ipoh in rainy season.

Drove 100 km/h - 150 km/h, no sign of aquoplanning.
Just as Continental and Dunlop suggests, I think wet road is where D05 really performs. Now is raining season, very good chance to try out D05 performance in wet.

Last time using Ecopia 200 got torque steer when trying to overtook. Also during wet condition.

What i notice from XM2 was the initial experience is good, but after some time, the tyres become excessively noisy.

Im using this D05 now on front. My rear tyres are NT8000. D05 side walls are not as firm as NT8k. therefore stability during corner NT8000 is better.
Stability : NT 8000 wins hands down
Aquaplan : D05 is better
Noise: D05 quite noisy (after about 50%), NT8000 one side noisy due to uneven wear.
If i were to choose either one, i will go back to NT8000. Now i want to try Fleva.

Been using these tires sized 195/55R15 for about a month now.

Quite happy with it so far.
Still relatively comfortable. Dry handling is pretty good. Can take corners with confidence, with just slight hint of body roll. Wet grip is really good too.

Very happy with it so far. Very good value for money. The pricing is fantastic too.

Would rate it a 8/10.

I had change my 4 tyre to Dunlop Formula D05 225 45 18 with price RM420 per pcs. So far so good as this was design according to Malaysia weather. Also Dunlop D05 is under Continental right now.

Anyway, this is economic if you want to compare with other brand like Michelin PS4. To me is ok coz i am not a racer and overall quite satisfy. Somemore 18-24 mths sure will need replace with new 1. Total is RM1k different so guys if instead go for PS4, but if you have budget sure you can go for PS4 but if you don't mind Malaysia made tyre, Dunlop Formula D05 is the best choice.
