In this comparative analysis, we look at two summer tyres, the Nokian WetProof, made in Finland, and the Dunlop Sport BluResponse. Both models are rated at 83% by our team, but let's dig into the fine details to find out their strengths and weaknesses according to various tests conducted by Autoklub ČR, ADAC, Autobild, and ACE.


Test results paint a mixed picture for the Nokian WetProof. It impresses with outstanding noise reduction and shines for wet braking, wet handling, and overall performance in wet conditions. ACE awarded it the top spot in their tests, making it a strong contender in the summer tyre category. Autoklub ČR, however, ranked it in 6th place out of 19 tyres tested, despite its best feature being exterior noise reduction. It is also worth mentioning that it performs well on both dry and wet roads, offering effective driving quality. Its potential areas of improvement include its environmental balance, wear rate, and slightly underwhelming sustainability.


On the other hand, Dunlop Sport BluResponse<\/a> excels in terms of comfort according to Autobild's test, where it secured the 11th position out of 53 tested tyres. ACE's test shed light on its strengths in aquaplaning, dry driving behavior, and dry and wet handling, placing it right after Nokian in the 2nd place. Dunlop Sport BluResponse was also recognised for being efficient and lightweight. Although it performed well on dry surfaces, it demonstrated slight weaknesses on wet roads leading to its 12th position in the Autoklub ČR test. Another point of concern is its relatively lower lifespan and environmental performance.


In conclusion, while both Nokian's WetProof and Dunlop's Sport BluResponse have their individual merits, they score nearly the same overall rating from us. WetProof trumps in wet conditions, showing superior wet braking and handling, whereas Sport BluResponse, despite some issues on wet roads, takes the lead in terms of comfort and aquaplaning. Therefore, your preference between WetProof's outstanding wet condition performance or Sport BluResponse's comfort and dry driving behavior will largely determine your selection.
