my friend hrv use this..good for the money.
quiet ride.wet dry satisfy.

thanks very much, was looking for cheaper alternative for 18"

which size u looking for?

225/40R18 or 225/45R18

not really rushing for it, just wanna survey in case my tyres puncture and need to change

for this size is less than rm 350 so the price still accceptable.cheaper option i suppse only have achiles sport for that size which is quite worth to use for performance.

achiles is good? i read some review they said the rubber will show sign of tearing, maybe they drive too aggressive

i was expecting around 400+, but RM350 i think is a good buy since i saw a lot of good review around but mostly is for 15" and 16"

good buy for sure..feel quiet and comfort.
achiles is more to performance type.

IC... So Achilles will be more noisy and stiff compare to d05 I assume?

compare between both,achiles is noisier.

Guys, what is the price range for this tyre? size 205/55/R16... I've been to a shop where they said the price is RM350 per tyre, which is ridiculous by any means. By knowing the price range, users wouldn't be ripped off by the price. I actually blame Dunlop for not putting the RRP on their website... would have been better if they had done so.

350 is a ripoff, the range should be 250++

I just changed mine last week, 205/45/16 = RM239/donut . love the design

Changed 14" J5 at 30 Dec last year till now and hit 8k++ on it. When servicing tyre the man said wore almost 50%. But this tyre is great, worth the price. Btw, 15" is using D5 or J5?

D5 tyre thread is so sexy! lol!

HI All,

Just to share my review of D05 after changing to it with size 215/45/17 @ RM250 per donut, its doing promotion previously, now it should be around RM290 - RM300 i think. Now my review is based on 3 months of using it and so far it is satisfactory.

My initial impression of Dunlop D05 is, its bloody noisy! Yes< i can hear the whoom sound creeping into the cabin and believe me, its LOUD. I am not someone to complaint about noise, as i firmly believe that ICE can easily drawn out the noise, and yes it did, but I have to turn the volume much higher Now before you misunderstood that this is a complaint, it is not, after the tyre is properly run-in, it is a fine tyre.

It could be due to my alignment too, as I have a habit of going to one particular guy who do great with alignment, and after that, the noise is not so loud anymore, anyway, I am enjoying every minute of D05 now.

Looking at the tyre, it is quite obvious that it is well design and manufactured, with wear indicator which is thoughfully located for us to do a check from time to time. The thread pattern is not bad, with deep grooves to ensure excellent water dispersion.

I have the pleasure recently of trying out in the wet, being rainy these past weeks, and true enough, the tyre didnt disappoint. I have good control at 90-100, not too fast tho, but mostly city driving. Manage to track right into puddle of water, its deep too, and the car remain in control, steering wheel remains steady

The sidewall is relatively solid without being too hard, Achilles is harder, yes I use that before. Nothing to complaint about both Dunlop and Achilles - true value for money with reasonable result just dont expect Potenza-like performance.

Braking is good, and touch wood i haven't tried emergency stop, which Achilles may slide a little, having experienced a few close calls earlier. Cornering, i must say is steady but unspectacular - Achilles is slighly better at cornering - hard. Still it is no big difference, in fact I felt more comfortable throwing corners with the not so stiff sidewall which is the Dunlop, than the Achilles - hope I am not being self-contradictory, but the Dunlop brings the car back nicely after corner, whereas the Achilles tend to be more abrupt when going into straight - maybe its just me

The only other mid-range that is slightly better than Dunlop and Achilles might be the Falken, which I tried and they are not bad. Falken can really tempt you to floor it, and they are great - at least initially, as Falken tyres performance tend to dropped significantly at 50%-60%, while Achilles, they seem to last forever!

The best I had ever used is still the Potenza, but, yes a but for the price, which is ridiculous. The last I checked on them - RM700 a piece for 215/45/17 - Japan definitely a nay. All in all, I am satisfied with the Dunlop, but its just 3 months, will observe longer before i push it further.
