I have plenty of time before I have to change my existing OEM Dunlop SportsMaxx 225X45x17 tyres but I have been looking around the tyre comparison reviews online just to keep abreast of things.
Most of the good reviews for this tyre size are European and generally the best all-round winner is a Continental tyre.

However the runner up is a Dunlop BlueResponse tyre and the outstanding feature on offer that attracts me is the exceptionally low rolling resistance compared to all the other competitors. Unfortunately I cannot find this tyre as being available in Australia.

I know that others have not been complimentary about Dunlops but I actually have no complaints about my current SportsMaxx tyres and they seem to have very low rolling resistance anyway, they are still quiet on most surfaces, braking performance seems good in dry and wet, and I don't drive anywhere near the adhesion limits to know whether they are good or bad. I hope to get about 40k out them which is probably about right.

Two questions I guess:

1. Does anyone know if the BlueResponse is offered by anyone in Australia? It does not appear on the Dunlop Australia website so I am not optimistic.
2. Does anyone know of any independent websites/reviews that I can validate my impressions of the SportsMaxx tyres performance?
