I have done a lot of research on Yoko Advan DB vs Dunlop high performance types (Not standard like T1) e.g LM-702 / 703 or even SP Sport 300. And here are my reviews.
Yokohama Advan DB =
- Pretty soft tire
- Less noise
- Good in comfort
- Made for Highways
- Its soft. So thread goes out quicker
- Might be better in economy
- Limit 50K to 60K
Dunlop LM-702 / 703 / SP sport series =
- Not very Hard but neither Soft.
- Not great in Comfort but neither bad.
- Made for Rough and tough terrain as well.
- Wide groves, hense better Road grip.
- Good grip in wet weather.
- It is not sound less like Advan DB because of wider groves.
- Gives you Sporty drive Rather than comfort and economy
- Can be taken upto 80K if maintained well.
CHOICE IS YOURS... Based on above. I am a Dunlop User and love its drive. Dont care If Tire sounds comes in a bit. Neither economy calculation. Enjoy sporty drive. Having Honda City 2015 with Honda Civic Rebourne Rims.. tyre size. 195/65/R15.
Earlier used Dunlop Sp Sport 300 (Really durable and tough tire)
Now using Dunlop LM-702. Recently changed. (Felt like car started floating. Good so far)
"Michlen Xm-2 is good, But Heavier and harder. Good for Toyota"
"Guys, there are tyres other than YoKohama Advan DB also, so give people a choice and comparison
they want"
