Fantastic grip in wet and dry. And under $200 a tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the Marangonis for 3000klm started getting little cracks in them although both were better than Dunlops. Got Sumitomos HTZR 111s, well priced, quiet, sticky, very happy and I'm a fussy dickhead. If your not on a racetrack, unless you go for super cheap junk theres not really much in it except for price which can be up to $200 a wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great predictable rubber however they do cost alot, wear very fast, cost alot, grip drops off about half way through the tyre life and they cost alot. But I'd still consider them. Also heard very good things about the adrenaline too.Forget the dunlops they are hopeless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they come in the right size and aren't too expensive.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 1m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/02/11 10:55 PM Share Posted 02/02/11 10:55 PM Even with standard power the dunlops just are not up to the job. They really are letting the car down, along with the standard suspension- way too floaty and nervous. In the dry the dunlops break traction very easily- mid corner, sometimes at speed in a straight line. In the wet it's almost like driving on bald tyres. If you have never had quality tyres before then you may accept this as normal but after fitting something better it's hard to go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
