I had a set of Dunlop SP Sport tires on the Sentra a while back. They were good in the dry, decent in the wet and sucked ass in the cold.
Pros: good in dry, decent in wet
Cons: sucked in cold

Star Specs - 90% of the Bridgestone at 80% of the price.
Pros: good price
The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.
Pros: quite good in warm
Cons: useless below 35 degrees
Vehicle:
Mazda
The Direzza's are pretty sticky and take a lot before they break traction. I'm very happy with them performance-wise.
Pros: pretty sticky, great performance
Cons: noisy when they wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
think I actually have been running my dunlaps at 36 front 38 rear cold maybe a couple psi more, can't remember since its been so long. It usually gains a couple psi (think it was getting to 40 all around hot) on the first run and I bleed back down to that point.
Pros: stiff enough sidewall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have Dunlop Star Specs and I absoutly love them! They are sooo grippy its crazy, some say they are a little loud but who cares when you can corner like a gecko on glass!
Pros: grippy, cornering ability
Cons: a little loud
I ran them on my R32, lasted about 20k miles. I was not impressed with them. Not sticky enough of a tire to have so short a tread life, not cheap enough either. I expected a hard tire that would last me awhile, and I got a hard tire that wore out at the same rate as a Toyo R-compound tire. Will not be buying Direzzas again. For the same price range I'd stick with Kuhmo's or Falken Ziex.
Cons: short tread life, not sticky
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32186 km
its a very good tire but dont expect a loong life out of them. good life for a sticky rubber but if you after long life this is not the one to get. this is more performance oriented. i prefer RE-01Rs / RE11 for the stick or G force sport for long life. depends on what your after. but great for autoX / daily driver mix in my opinion.
Pros: great for autoX, daily driver
Cons: dont expect a long life
I had them stock on my .:R32. I easily got 25K miles out of the first set, but could easily have gotten 30K had I not bubbled one and blown out another in on of the 3 winters I have had the car. At 25K I got 2 more tires and the noise is about similar, so they didn't get too loud after 2 years. They actually are a lot quieter than the new Contiprocontact tires on the new TDI, designed to be low rolling resistance and quiet.
Pros: pretty quiet tire
Cons: sidewalls bubble easily
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 40233 km
I am not happy with the quality of the Dunlop tires and I feel they should replace all the tires with a better reinforced sidewall in order to avoid the problem from resurfacing.
Cons: bubbles on tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
