Tires DUNLOP or FEDERAL
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.
I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
I had dunlop sport Max with SV6 17 inch rims on my 2009 ve international and man they were excellent tyres heaps of grip in the wet and of course in the dry aswell!
I run Federal RSRR on the front of my drift car and Id say its TOO much grip in comparison to the rear 'whatever-I-Can-get" used tires.
The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.
Federal tires are cheap and good. I use Michelin PS4 but on wet paint they're almost useless.
My Dunlop Sport Maxx’s are pretty cracked, my Skoda can out accelerate a Miat with them
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
I was able to break loose/slide the stock tires during my test drive in January.
