They also have the same tread wear rating as the dunlops so they will last just as long.A lot of members have them on their cards all with positive results. I can't wait to get rid of the dunlops on the rear of my car so I can have them all round.They are a lot quieter than the dunlops also.

I know they make them in 235/40/18 but are very rare. They are not as good as the Sports/Premacy's but they are a hell of a lot better than the standard dunlop sp3000/9000's.I was going to upgrade to the sports/premacy when I needed tyres again, but at $640 I don't think so..hehe Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16562-tyres/#findComment-235537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
