Dunlop Roadsmart 4 is a very good tire.
Good grip and good mileage.
Ended up getting the set as we're going to have some snow and had a road trip north. I immediately noticed the tires are a lot more forgiving over bumps, and the car feels a lot more smooth than before.
The stock tires actually perform quite well (my stock were Dunlop AT20 Grandtreks). For anything other than mud, fantastic. Sand and greenlaning were no problem.
Great tire with awesome grip; however I prefer the q4 because the 5s wear out faster.
The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????
My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.
They are super grippy so they wear faster.
I never had any slipping in the rain.
A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.
I live in north Georgia and last winter kept the Dunlops on. Once the temps were consistently in the low 30s it was like driving with Fisher Price wheels. I constantly had to go slow through turns and could feel slipping even at low speeds. It was not a fun time. I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all seasons this winter and the difference in feel in the cold is incredible. It’s been in the 20s this week and the tires aren’t slipping at all.
Absolute garbage in winter here in central new york. Need one say more. Summer tire in warm wet conditions are satisfactory. Cold dry conditions they have a slight slippery feel and if there's any cold wet conditions like below 50 they tend to move the car around.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
