Tires DUNLOP or Achilles
Dunlop enasave EC300 was a lot quieter than my then stock hankook ventus tires.
I'm using Achilles Desert Hawk HT2 (on SUV with 32PSI).. tire whistle can only heard after 120KPH. tahimik po sya based on my experience...
I had a 62 Corvair. Because of the swing axel on the early ones it was a bad idea to use radial tires. I had Dunlop Gold Seal bias ply tires and the car cornered like it was on rails. It was a good car.
I have Dunlop Winter Response tires and NA grips in snow like crazy. Had cheaper ones some time ago and difference is stunning.
For a road like this Dunlop Mutant. If you look at what supermoto riders do with them, purely insane. And from my own experience with them, very very good traction even in cold weather around the freezing point or when wet. Does'nt smear when its very hot at least with my 100hp bike and its very good in corners. They look very rough but they run quite smooth. Also you can get ~10k miles out of them.
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
An easy performance mod is lighter wheels with track tires, the stock dunlops are alright but pretty underwhelming for being a 200treadwear tire. If you want better ride quality, switch to a high performance all season.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
