But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
Comforser CF3000's. Chinese, but that deep lug should be a good all round tire, you'd sure be in trouble in that fall mud with well worn tires.
Last two tires I ran were GPR300s. The traction was good in the corners, only negative for me was the lifetime, only 3,000mi each before having to replace.
Dunlop is a fine brand and the Sportmax is perfectly good tire. You will be fine.
So I came to event day on my normal Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres. In practice, I found that on the R-spec I could do an 89 second lap, but consistently run at 92 seconds (I could do consecutive 90 second laps, but brakes would become the weak link after about 4 consecutive laps). On the street tyres I could do a 93 second lap, but due to brakes again, nominated at 95 second lap.
Chinese tires now are pretty decent and are a bargain. The only serious issues I've faced surprisingly were from branded ones - I've had bubbles on Yokohama and Dunlop.
Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.
Loose stuff though? Not a fan.
Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.
Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.
The very first storm I had my 22 on stock the Dunlop’s I slid through a whole intersection with abs thumping the whole time I was NOT prepared for how bad they were.
Almost slid into a car last year on the oem dunlops, can confirm they are dog shit wrapped in cat shit
