Over the years, here and elsewhere, I have been very, very hard on Dunlop. I was exceedingly unhappy with both sets of Dunlop OEMs I had on my old Civic, and later on, on my wife's Sequoia. And I was not shy about talking about it.
Well, times are tough, and although it's a long story, I recently found a set of barely used Dunlop A/S Sport 7000s that someone had removed from a recent vintage Accord (I think it was an Accord), that are an exact size match for the Camry Hybird.
All I can say now is that these tires are SUPERB. I do run them somewhat overinflated 38-40 on the fronts, 2 less in the rear. Even overblown, they ride much better than my worthless OEM Bridgestones, they are whisper quiet except on pea-gravel pavement (which makes all tires sound off), and they exhibit no signs of undue sidewall flex. I bought them with about 80% meat remaining on the tread for roughly 1/4 what a set of new tires would have cost. One was bad, and I replaced it with a new one from TR. I just could not be happier.
Dunlop, I apologize for my harsh comments in the past. Not all of your products are great (whose are), but these tires are superb. Well done.
