The Dunlop Sport BluResponse and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 are both exceptional summer tyres from two esteemed tyre manufacturers, Dunlop and Pirelli respectively. Both of these tyres have undergone numerous tests, offering some valuable comparisons and insights. Let’s examine their strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance in mutual tests.
The Dunlop Sport BluResponse earned a 71% rating from us. In the Autobild test, this tyre secured the 20th position out of 55, highlighting its low rolling resistance as a key strength. The tyre was particularly praised in the ACE test, where it clinched the 2nd position, excelling in both wet and dry driving behavior, aquaplaning performance, and dry and wet handling. Yet, the tyre did show some average grip on wet conditions as noted in the Autobild 2024 test, despite its commendable aquaplaning qualities and short dry braking distances.
On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 - manufactured in Italy and Romania - boasts of a rating of 75% from us, slightly better than its counterpart. In the Autobild test, it garnered 9th position primarily for its impressive braking distances, dynamic steering and handling behavior. However, it scored the last position out of 9 in the ACE test, outlining room for improvements in terms of tread life and economy, besides its higher price point.
Conclusively, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse makes a good choice for those prioritizing excellent aquaplaning performance and dry and wet handling, plus it comes with lower rolling resistance which translates into better fuel efficiency. Nonetheless, keep in mind its average wet grip. Meanwhile, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 could be a better bet for seekers of short braking distances and dynamic steering performance despite its relatively higher cost and average tread life.
Neither of these tyres has been replaced by a newer model yet, so you can confidently opt for either of these, purely based on your specific requirements.
