hi guys, for 205/65/15 tyre, is dunlop d05 a good choice? how about price?

tqia!

anyone with the D05 had flat-spotting issue if parked for days?

my only choice formula d5 205/55/r17

Where to find nt8000 nowadays?? My last 4 donuts also using nt8000. After dat, 2 tyre change to achilles, and after awhile another 2 pc to rovelos..after achilles run out i change that 2 tyre to d05..195/55/15. Price 155 a piece exclude GST for 195/55/15.

I agree with nt8000 stability..it was nvr the same after changing to other brands. I always thought that my absorber, or lower arm or alignment or wheel camber got problem but it was just the tyres. Softer side wall really affects cornering performance.

I still hv no comments for d05 performance because i just changed it last weekend and only 2 tyre (front). No chance for hard driving yet.

Might changed the rovelos to d05 later if the sampan feel still there. (i suspect it was from the front achilles tyre as it was the oldest pair). Rovelos also still new. 260 for a pair all in. Dont think much that time. Go for the cheapest 95v rated tyre 😅😅....

Anyway, anyone got any other recommendation for mid range price tyre with stiff side wall? I go for d05 because i read somewhere that the side wall is quite stiff but reading all the comments here make me think otherwise..

i've been using this tyre since 2015 (215/50/17).overall is very2 good..now time to change all 4..how much price for now?tq

Been running with these (DUNLOP Formula D05) since Oct-2016.
After close to 10K km, I'd say I'm still pretty satisfied with the tyres.
Although not an extreme driver or frequent highway traveler, I still make monthly drives between KL-MUAR (dry & wet conditions on PLUS highway).

Here are my ratings for these set of rubbers after ~10K km:

Size & Specs: 215/45/R17 | Treadwear 340 | Temp A | Traction A
Noise: 6/10
Stiffness/Comfort: 6/10 (reminder that I'm on low-profile rubbers)
Dry Handling: 8/10
Wet Handling: 7/10
Cornering (sweeping corners at avg. speed 130~150 kmh): 7/10 - Dry | 6/10 - Wet (soft rain/wet road without puddles)
Downhill (Genting Highlands): 6.5/10 (Dry) *will not venture spirited-driving downhill on wet conditions there*

Disclaimer:
I'm not a pro driver, nor have used gazillion tyre brands/models.
However, I'd say that I have had a fair-share of experience (Pirelli P7, Bridgestone RE003, Toyo T1R, Yokohama A Drive, Yokohama S Drive, Kumho Ecsta Seven KU23, Silverstone Atlantis V7, to name a few that I've used).
I'll admit that I've very limited experience with Michelins and Continentals.
Anyhow, you get the drift

Hope this helps.

Nope, never noticed such occurrences on any of my tyres (prior or current, even after 1.5 week stationary).
Maybe that's because I've always kept a lookout on my tyre pressures(?)
The only time I've witnessed flat-spotting was on a friend 's Prado fitted with Bridgestone Duelers, and stationary for 3 weeks. That also was due to under-inflation.
So, I guess one could say that tyre pressure plays an important factor towards flat-spotting(?)

Thanks for the conprehensive review bro..seems like the tyre is worth a try..after all the price is quite reasonable

it is advisable i put new Dunlop D05 on rear than old Michelin PS3 on front? Currently run all of PS3 but got front 2 getting running out and wan to try out other brand. Or should i stick back with PS3.

BTW, its Myvi running on 195/55/15 size and coz i living at East Malaysia so seldom hit 100km/h coz speed limit just 90km/h.

Just change 4 units to my honda city 2009. So far so good. The grip seems lesser than previous continental cpc, i don't know is it haven't "run-in" , for example, my car will have a light "drifted away" feeling when passing by lorry or bigger vehicle.

Did 3k km on my tyres. Sidewall is harder than previous conti. I think i will stick to hard sidewalls tyres. Very sweet cornering, more sensitive when maneuver.

Treadwear is 320, in my thinking these tyres can't last real long. I drive everyday average 60km per day.

can use over a year,no problem.my friend do5 travel everyday is already about 1.5 years.the thread still good.

Good to hear that. If my set of d05 really can last, i can say there are most value for money tyres at premium grade!
May i know What car is your friend driving?

i strongly agree is one of the most value for money tyres

High speed: My car felt "float" when over 130km/h. 185/55R16.
Other than that all okay.

This tyre profile still available? I was told it's no more produced. When did you install it and where?

sure got la..honda city and jazz original new car 2018 still using this size.

I know but whenever I call the Dunlop shops they say factory no more produce. This was back in 2017. Hence I went elsewhere. If any users of 185/55R16 installed it this year please let me know where and how much. I don't mind trying this out.

do you mean the previous cpc2 (continental premium contact 2) doesn't feel float above 130km/h ?

How is the dry and wet grip compare between dunlop d05 vs cpc2 ?

Mine 2017 installed yili auto Ampang. Google or carousell for them.
