The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 model was only able to score the 16th place. All this considering the fact that the Auto Bild expert team called it a «snow expert», doing justice to its grip and braking performance.The tire’s high hydroplaning resistance also did not pass unnoticed, just as its being prone to understeer in wet and dry tests, as well as the braking distance on dry pavement, which was a little longer than it should have been.

Very balanced winter tires, especially good on snowy roads, very good on dry and wet roads.
