Tires DUNLOP or Barum
I said fuck it, bought the second cheapest Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 ($200 for both) and man do i not feel anything different on the streets! Ive hit triple digits and they have all felt safe!
My car came with dunlop enasave ec300 tires which have maxium pressure of 2,75 bar and proper tire pressure for Leaf would be 2,6-3,0.
Im just now looking at replacing my OEM Dunlops at 17k. These are on a 2019 HD Road Glide.
I'm running a ducati 848 evo and I have the sportmax gpr300 in the front and a roadmaster 3 in the back I've got 2k miles of very spirited riding on them so far and I've got to say I feel like I've pushed them to the limit several times but I've never felt as if they were going to let go on me. A few times the roadsmart or roadmaster or whatever in the rear a felt get a little wiggly but the sportmax on the front has never felt as if it was lacking grip at all whatsoever my only issue thus far is that the sportmax gpr300 is showing quite alot of wear after 2k miles where as the rear tire isn't showing much wear at all.
I had to change tyres for my 5 series last month. I went with Dunlop (not runflat) and can feel a marked improvement in the ride quality over the run flats.
Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.
Loose stuff though? Not a fan.
I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.
Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.
Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.
That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.
They blow. Not great in rain either.
Don't go Chinese, had them on low profile 19 inches, were shot and damaged in less than 15k kms. I usually stick to the big names, Dunlop best traction, bridgestone best comfort and life, Yokohama a balance of both. Last for a decent time and the overall cost was lower compared to the kms done not to undermine the sense of safety
I couldn't stop at all with the Dunlops.
