235/35/19 Dunlop sp winter Max or whatever they are called. Absolutely love them.
• Front wheels has stock dunlops and rear wheels has all season but forgot the name. Gonna get new sets before next winter starts.
I have Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs, there's a Dunlop Direzza ZIII now. I like them because although they're not quiteee as grippy as the RE71r, I've heard the RE71rs lose their grip after just a few heat cycles. These Dunlops are supposed to hold up better to heat cycling.
Here are my initial impressions:
Pros:
a) Quieter than the Dunlop Super Sport 7000s that come stock. This could be because my stock tires were showing some surficial cracks in the rubber, although this complaint is normal. The stock tires crap out within 50,000 km anyhow.
e) Good rain performance...no issue with braking during rainfall on these tires.
Cons:
a) Sizing of the stock tires means that the tires will follow the downslope direction of the road crown, even if it's a minor one (this is partially due to the short wheelbase and hyper sensitive steering rack). I got my tires aligned after the install, before the alignment brigade chimes in.
Overall, I am very happy with the tires. They work as advertised and didn't tear a hole in a my wallet. They are a valid option for those seeking new tires for the Fit.
Achilles, their cheap and have never failed on me
my Achilles ATR Sport 2 last forever in the rear and have good grip
I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .
Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".
I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
They did ok on the track for a summer tire (240tw) but I think next season I'm going with something else. For the life of me I could not corner in these
