Dunlop ECONODRIVE Reviews

Have had these on my work van for 20,000km, that usually has 700-1000kg in the back. Originally had Continental Contivan Contact 200 tyres, which wore out after only 18,000km. Very quiet and grippy, but much too short life. The Dunlop Econodrives is grippy in the dry, but not amazing in the wet. Increased road noise, but not too loud. They have a deep tread, and have barely started to show wear. Imagine they will last 50000-80000km. Not the best grip in the wet, but that is the trade off for harder rubber. Experiment with tyre pressure to get the best ride and cornering quality out of them.

These were supplied with the vehicle as new...optional 17" alloys on a 2017 W447 114 LWB MB Vito. For a work vehicle transporting medium to heavy loads, they have been excellent. Driving without load, still excellent. Grip in the dry is outstanding, in the wet, I would say very good, being able to push the vehicle to the limits of adhesion. Value for money is difficult to say as they were OEM. However, getting 53,000kms on the original set is excellent. My previous Vito on Falkens achieved no more that 30,000kms. I am currently looking for replacements and these are definitely in the mix.

These were on the car when I purchased it. They are pretty good from my experience. Mainly used on freeway and suburbs. Good traction and low noise.

work well

They are bald

Not EconoDrive, but an earlier variant Japanese market EcoSave So a hard, long life, economy tyre form Dunlop. With the cheap price, what are you missing out on?  a) Wet weather performance. Awful. Spin at the first hint of a wet road.  b) Load performance. Wobble side to side like records with anything over 500kg load. Like driving a skittle at speed when loaded. They get worse as load climbs to max rating.

Just a tyre nothing great about them could be a lot better as my daughter drives the car

GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND THEY DO THE JOB REQUIRED
