Blue Reponse TG is the first tyre model released by Dunlop after full acquisition from Sumitomo. Upon releasing the model in Europe, it quickly won the auto motor sport Award as a winner, competing models like Michelin Primacy 5, and Falken e.Ziex. Auto motor sport commented the tyre model as “OUTSTANDING”.
The LM705 wasn’t sold in Europe. It mainly targets the (South East) Asia market, also including Australia and New Zealand.

Feedback brought to the Sumitomo and the model got improved in the next batch of release. However, these drivers remained unconvinced and chose not to purchase Dunlop again, just like when DZ101 was released last time.
