I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.
I've had Laufenn tyres and found them excellent.
Laufenn (produced by Hankook) serves me well. Bought 4 tires(205/50/16) from Hyperdrive for $600 2 years ago. Almost 20k on my honda jazz and still with heaps of thread left
ive done some track days with my q5s at 22 cold and target temp hot for me is about 28-29psi rear. wears perfectly and zero tears
I love the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 on my GT4. Amazing tires. Never thought I’d like a tire more than the Michelin Cup2.
Just got 4 installed last Friday. This morning on the way to work I started to hear what I’d describe as a winding sound. Only when going slow, like under 20mph. I’m wondering if it’s just a “new tire sound” but none of any other new tires have I ever heard it.
I swapped my Dunlops over to my VA, and in colder temps (dry) they feel harder/slick compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 that was on there. Not sketchy or anything, but I could feel a difference. Temps were about 30°F.
I have Laufenn here on my Passat I got from Carmax and today I finally checked the DOT number to see how old they are cause I wanted to replace them already due to me thinking they were old af and needed replacement. Well turns out they are 3 years old and perform so bad that the car slips even on dry asphalt.
I joined here and immediatley saw a dozens of posts about how SHIT the stock Dunlops are at 40F or less and massacres of spanking new WRXs.
My Dunlops are near end of life. I only work two days a week so I’ve made it work but driving in the other day had a quarter inch of snow on the ground…..sketchy asfff.
