Everyone I know that has used these tires has absolutely loved them, and I see tons of positive reviews for them online, but despite all that I just can't get over how they look.
Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.
But I remember back in the day (PS4s are ancient now) when I swapped from Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s to PS4s and two things stood out - how much mechanical grip they have, and how long they take to warm up.
On cold mornings, they genuinely felt like track slicks. The Dunlops would be "warmed up" and gripping fine by the time I reached the main road - maybe half a mile.
The PS4s, on the other hand, would still feel twitchy and unpredictable halfway to work (~18 miles). It took a good 8-9 miles before they came in. And before they warm up, they are very on/off - loads of mechanical grip, but almost no compound grip, so they can suddenly let go.
Bought mine this summer, they are AMAZING! Just yesterday I was driving in snowfall when the roads weren't great, I've had almost zero issues with them.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT2
I paid about $65 per tire (225/40/18) + shipping and then had a local tire shop mount them. They have been great in all conditions (N. Carolina) during the 8,000mi they’ve been on.
Uzeo sad Dunlop Winter. Ne winter sport 5 nego samo Winter. Zasad ok na ovom mokrom.
For a summer tire for a road car I think the Dunlop ZIII are a good choice. Long in the tooth and not competitive as a track tire anymore but great in the rain and great on the road.
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
The Dunlop summers? Yeah they're terrible lol. Basically useless under 40 degrees as they turn rock solid and no longer grip the road
