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.
I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.
when i had my 03 wolfsburg i ran 225/45/17 dunlop signature HP's, amazing tire for the money
17" VW/Ronal Sima with Dunlop Wintersport 4D. Really happy with this combo.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT. Best bang for buck IMO.
I installed Dunlop sport max RT summer tires and they work great and were priced good, I've had them on all winter too and I've driven them in 20-30° weather and they still performed very good, although I'm happy overall with the tire, they're almost worn out.
I have Dunlop Graspic DS-3s on my car in the winter and they perform quite well on dry and wet pavement. They are a bit more slippy and the feel is a bit more muddy
The last set of Dunlop’s were ass. Doubt these are much better.
I immediately took them off my STI and swapped to pilot sports. Sold the tires for 150$ to some kid in college. Put 75 miles on them I think. Horrible tire, horrible handling, horrible tread wear. HORRIBLE
probably a terrible choice, i couldn’t get rid of the stock dunlops fast enough
