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 )

Ya, price has increased within 2 years time.
I got mine at RM290/donut (JB) at the same shop I bought previously.

Not just D06, all tire price has their price increased from what I'm told.

Which shop in Seremban? That is my car tyre size. Now don't know price go up by how much. If people can't afford good tyres, the might buy unbranded ones & risk their life.

Hi, I am using the Dunlop D05 Tyre 195/50/15 manufactured in 44th week 2019 year, for around 2 years with 25,000km. So far, the handling and cornering still good to be control. The noise level still can be acceptable, also depends on the road condition. It may I have shared some pictures which the Tyre seems hardened if no mistaken. Should I replace them immediately or can be wait? The "Sun & Rain indicator" still can be seen clearly, and the thread depth considered ok. Usually, I parked at open air residence roadside, therefore the rubber seems aging faster, because I drive around 15km - 20km per day.

If do so, I will consider changing Dunlop D06 Tyre as I am satisfied with its predecessor D05 wet & handling performance, especially cornering. The price I survey in Melaka costs around RM185 - RM205 per pc, including balancing, alignment and rubber valves.

still am, already on my second cycle of this tyres and they haven't disappointed me yet (other than getting punctured sometimes from nails at my work site whistling.gif ).

Looking to replace 2 tyres before CNY and price on Shopee looks appealing atm for 185 55 15 at MYR186 (after discounts).
