Current TR1 still less than a year, still have 70% thread

D06 all round tyre, should very safe to change.

Any updates on the D06 tyre? It's price to features ratio look attractive considering the formulation and development is under Continental Malaysia

I'm looking at changing my persona tyres to D06 too as so far price seems to be still reasonable at RM149 for 185/55R15. Hopefully someone can review it before i take the plunge.

Old tyres were stock lousy silverstone kruzer tyres. Only can last 50k km. Noisy and slippery when wet.

Update : Changed 4 pcs Dunlop D06 for RM140/pc.

Quick review : Immediately can feel the difference compared to my original Silverstone Kruzer tyres in terms of NVH. Much more quieter and comfortable ride overall. No chance to test on wet road yet and no comments on the grip as I don't take fast corners.

Got 4 pcs for my MyVi 185/55/15 at RM165/donut

First impressions is they do sound quieter from the standard Ecopia 150 and J6. Could be the tyre is still new but it is what it is.

I think they feel quite similar maybe D06 is a bit quieter. Can't comment on wet grip since it's been sunny for quite some time now.

Just got 4pcs 215/50R17.

Coming from 4 year old PS4 with severe dry rot problem, the D06 is worlds apart in comfort and noise levels. I no longer get that jarring feeling when hitting potholes and my car interior doesn't vibrate and rattle on rough surfaces. Overall road/tire noise is greatly reduced.

Dry grip looks ok. Haven't had the chance to test it in the wet yet.

Would like to share some of my user experience on Dunlop D06.

Initially was planning to get D05 and to my surprise there's a newer revision, D06 was out in the market even their website was not updated back then.
Got it changed immediately and I'm happy with its performance.

No issue on WET & DRY condition, performance was up to my taste.
Take corner wells, comfortable and confidence high speed driving.
And in raining day, it performs very well even driving across a puddle of water wasn't an issue.

When the treadwear coming to an end, it still performs very well especially on wet roads.
Not at its initial best but still grip/hold safely for you.

All good things will come to an end and got it changed last week as it had hit the wear indicator, usage at 50,023KM (23months).
I have zero issue with this tire, no puncture or uneven wear and no sidewall peeling.

I can said that it's worth every penny considering it's a budget range tire, recommended tire thumbsup.gif
Noise and comfort are subjective, I find it okay (quiet than PS3 tongue.gif )

Hello, how long have you been using the tires for? Interested in getting the DO6 myself.
