Dunlop Enasave 01 A/S 

Overall impression: good gas mileage, no bad habits, shorter life than some but longer than expected.

First set were original tires, changed at 42,000mi. with 4/32in. tread remaining, had expected shorter life so this exceeded expectations. Experienced low 60's mpg (indicated, is ~2 mph higher than measured) throughout life. Were vastly better than new tires our other cars came with.

Replaced with Michelin Defenders for about a month (700-1000mi.), mileage dropped into the mid-to upper 40's indicated, never broke 50 mpg, and stayed there to nearly 1000mi until returned for a second set of Enasave 01's, mileage immediately returned to low 60's and remained there. Second set now at 44,000mi. (4/32 in. tread) and am considering a third set before winter.

Tires are quiet on smooth roads even at Interstate speeds. Rough pavement gets noisy, but this also might be the car (but much quieter on rough pavement than 2nd generation Prius).

Wet/Dry traction has been good, maintained adhesion during several hard stops when wet (about half worn then). Have not hydroplaned during heavy rain on smooth roads, 65-70mph w/ 5/32in tread (not recommended).

Handling is normal, no bad habits. No winter conditions experience.

Usually driven on decent surfaces but both sets have gone a few hundred miles on rough Forest Service roads w/ some sharp rocks and holes, w/o damage.

This review is for our second set of this tire type. The first was for the OEM tires which served well for 42,000mi. when they were replaced with 4/32" remaining tread, with even wear, rotated every 5-7kmi. This review is for their replacements (not purchased from Tire Rack, though we are a customer), currently worn to ~ 6-1/2 32nds depth at 24,000mi. and appear to be on track for about the same total mileage and are performing the same. We drive mostly on good pavement, but ~ 200mi. has been in mountains on rough Forest Service roads with no damage (we're careful, but they've taken a few sharp hits).

They have good feel and corner and brake reliably on both dry and wet roads, including a few emergency stops in heavy rain at tread tread depths as low as we've taken them. They're quiet on smooth roads though noise does come through on rough pavement, as with other tires we've owned. Nothing harsh about their ride though we usually run ~ 3-4 psi over the sticker. They appeared to be slippery the one time they were driven on fresh wet snow (6-1/2 32nd" tread depth), but I wasn't driving then so I can't say how they compare to the All Season Michelins we have on another car that are quite reliable on snow/ice.

Their (low) rolling resistance is outstanding and the reason we're planning to buy a third set - the Prius is averaging ~ 60mpg indicated with them, which dropped a full 18% when we tried a set of Michelin Defenders for several weeks, immediately returning to form when those were exchanged for the current Dunlops. We seldom experience winter conditions, and have another car for that, but if we did we'd probably mount tires with better snow/ice performance for just those months and accept the decreased gas mileage.

OEM on our 2019 Prius. Have made two coast-to-coast trips at Interstate speeds (70-85mph), but mostly everyday around town and freeway driving.
-Tread depth at 42,000mi. is 4mm and even.
-They're quiet on smooth Interstates. At speed on rougher surface they let noise through, but so do the Michelins on our other cars.
-They've made a decent panic stop on a wet road at ~ 6mm tread depth and more recently one on a dry surface.
-At 4mm they showed no signs of hydroplaning during several days of heavy rain on a recent cross country trip.
-They recently saw ice (lumpy, frozen sleet) and held the road.
- Will replace them very soon and am considering another set of the same.
- Our car consistently exceeds EPA mileage by 10-15% with no special effort, so rolling resistance must be good.
- There might be better tires, but these have been decent throughout their life.

These tires came with the car and surprisingly had great dry traction and decent wet reaction for being a low rolling resistant tire. The stability and predictability were great and the ride quality was average. The tire life is terrible though as these were rotated every 5k miles and are now at 4/32 after 24k miles.

These tires were purpose designed for the rear axle of the Mitsubishi I-Miev but I am running 4 of them on a 2004 Scion xB. They roll smoothly and have decent dry weather handling and contribute towards improved efficiency, though they are a little noisy on rough pavement at least when you run them at max PSI like I do. I've got 35000 miles on this set and they are about worn out, but I will be buying another set. I'm not a really aggressive driver but they grip well enough for everything I want to do, and they behave well enough in snow/ice/wet. No flats or failures.

Enasaves came with my 2021 Toyota Corolla and I enjoy them. Purchased new in Nov 2021 with 0 miles I now have 21,500 uneventful miles on this original set of 4. They run in a warm climate, have been rotated 3 times and are wearing well. I find these quiet too so I wanted to stay with these when I need to replace but the cost of just the uninstalled is $205 to $215 each and that is a bit much. I will have to shop, however, do feel I could stay with these because I am very impressed.

I am a regular customer of the Tire Rack, though these tires came stock on the car. They feel like rubber-covered marshmallows, very soft and not up for hard cornering. Traction in the wet is fair to poor, do not even THINK about using these in the snow! Dry traction is acceptable, but there is a ton of understeer if you push hard. They have a soft, comfortable ride even at 40PSI, and are fairly quiet. The main purpose of these tires is high fuel mileage, which they do exceptionally well. If you are a very easy-going driver they might be worth replacing, but I am going to accept a mileage hit to get something that handles better and is not totally useless in Winter, once these wear out. At 8500 miles rotated frequently they have 6/32" tread remaining, which leads me to expect that they will last only about 24k miles.

Good tired! Holds the road and rides well.

These tires came with my 2018 Mirage ES hatch and I'm not really happy with these tires.
They do not have the greatest amount of grip, in any weather conditions but when it snows they do okay, but not great.

They seem to wearing decent but will likely need to be replaced within the the next year or so, they are starting to dry rot/crack which doesn't give me the greatest confidence.

Noisy tires, particularly at highway speeds and the ride at anything but the recommended 35psi is terrible, if you over inflate these tires, trust me you'll know.


Verdict?
Well, simply put I am VERY happy other companies have started making competing tires because I sure as anything am not putting these back on my Mirage, and definitely NOT at the LUDICROUS price point of (as I write this) $146 PER TIRE on a MIRAGE.

OEM equipment on the Mirage, and quickly swapped them for my set of 175/70/13 General Altimax RT43s mounted on Civic VX wheels.

The EnaSaves definitely show they're purpose-built for low rolling resistance, but that's about it. Horrible handling, horrible wet traction. Way too much sidewall roll in corners. They do ride smooth and quiet, though. Would never buy them. Barely used them and the tires and wheels are up on Craigslist.
