There are several shortcomings, but, it corresponds to the norm.

This rubber went along with the car (the car is 19 years old, and the tires are also 19, so they obviously bought it at the same time). Before that, I had experience with different manufacturers of winter tires - Hankook, Toyo, Continental, Nokian, but I encountered Dunlop for the first time. The last tire before that was Nordman 7, first of all, of course, I compare it with it. It was interesting how it would turn out. I have a retired driving style, I usually do not rush anywhere. I have four-wheel drive, I live on Sakhalin, there is a lot of snow, average frosts, large temperature drops. Conclusion - the tires are not bad, but not for my region, spikes are needed here, but noisy, but you feel calmer. I ordered tires with nails, and Dunlop will go for sale. In those regions where there is little snow and ice in winter, and there is a lot of frost, I am sure Dunlop will show its best side

Pros

relatively soft, quiet compared to spikes, behaves well on asphalt, including frostbite, also a definite plus of wear resistance, also of course a plus that you can change shoes later in the spring, and earlier in the fall, this is not a spike, so you can avoid seasonal queues at tire fitting shops not difficult

Cons

slows down on a snow crust very mediocre, in the city the same thing - the ABS is constantly working. On a snowy and icy track, the trajectory is held very uncertainly, the car floats, there is no confidence in corners. Anti-skid often works even on normal acceleration, without any sneakers on the floor. strongly dislikes porridge and loose snow, the tread is washed out, the trajectory becomes completely unpredictable. A couple of times I got stuck in small pits in winter, the car rowed helplessly with all 4 wheels, there was not enough rubber grip.
