"put these on my 92 honda accord ex 4 door sedan after the review in consumer reports. replace michelin oem's after 75K miles. these dunlops wore out after less than 30K miles. drive to the grocery store and i could almost watch the rubber (and my money) melt off the carcass. will never buy these again. also wonder re: reading consumer reports. to their credit, they did not comment on tire longevity, only performance which was satisfactory only. the only thing special about these tires was how fast they wore out despite a 420 rating."

"These tires were terrible in snow. Last year we had to call AAA to get us unstuck from our driveway three times. Our other minivan with Goodyear tires makes it up fine."

"The other reviews I've seen here are absurd. I've had Dunlop SP40 A/S tires on my 91 Honda Accord for 52,000 miles, and I can easily get another 5K to 8K or more miles out of them; still have about 1/16 inch tread left above the treadwear bars. "

"After 36,000 miles on my 2003 Sienna van, they're practically bald! And these have a 60,000 warranty? I'm going to Michelin line, after I go to the Dunlop dealer for a mileage adjustment!"

"1998 Toyota Sienna These tires were OEM from Toyota: what were they thinking? The previous owner wore out a pair at only 65,000 KM and then replaced them with another set: what was he thinking? Now at 130,00 KM the second set is worn out and I will be trying Michelins. Traction and ride are Ok though. "

"2002 Toyota Sienna LE - There is a major problem with DUNLOP SP40s and the Sienna (1998-2003). I just discovered my tires were badly worn and the cords were showing on one tire. This at 23,000 miles. Toyota blames Dunlop, Dunlop blames Toyota. In researching this a little, I see multiple complaints of tire wear with the Sienna's, but Toyota says there is no "known" problem. However, it is hard to believe a 60K tire is bald at 23K miles, especially considering it is driven by a "soccer mom" that uses it to shuttle 2 kids around... I took it to a Goodyear dealer (in an attempt to get to recompense from Dunlop, of which they denied) and they told me that even though they recommend 6000 mile tire rotations, the Sienna should have it done every 3000 miles. Apparently this will "double" the tires life. That remains to be seen. If you have a Sienna with Dunlops, get ready to replace the tires every 20-30,000 miles (or less). "

"2002 toyota sienna - This dunlop sp 40 tire is the worst i have ever had on any of my 5 previous mini vans. The fact Toyota has done nothing to compensate their customers for inferior tires, really says something about a company that prides itself on quality. HEY TOYOTA !! - TIRES ARE PART OF THE PACKAGE TOO ! "

"2003 Toyota Sienna - At 28,000 miles, these tires are just a smidge above the wear bars! I rotated them twice, and they wore evenly--just incredibly fast! My first and last Dunlop tire. Very disappointing on a Toyota vehicle."

"Mazda MPV - These tires were standard on our 2002 MPV. They offer no traction what-so-ever in the snow. It doesn't do much better when it rains either. I would not recomend this tire for anyone"

"Toyota 2000 Minivan - When I bought my used Toyota Sienna Minivan from the dealer, they installed 4 new Dunlop SP40 tires. After 21,000 miles, the front tires are worn to the cords and the rear tires are cupped. These tires are NOT recommended."

"2002 Mazda MPV - These tires came OEM from Mazda on our Mini Van after 30,000 miles they're gone.Tread wear was pathetic. I think Mazda may have selected a tire not suitable for the vehicle."

"94 Camry LE - These tires have a nice quiet ride during dry weather conditions... but once it rains or snows, forget it - put the car in the garage and leave it there. Got stuck multiple times with these tires, constant spin-outs ... absolutely no snow traction. DO NOT buy these tires for any state north of N. Carolina!"
