Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG
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.
So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.
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.
Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.
Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.
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're good on 40+ weather. And they're loud. Freaking louder than the Blizzaks and those are snow tires with huge knobs. They're stock tires so use em as much as you can then buy better tires.
I was hoping my '22 SE wouldn't come with the Dunlops. It did. On TireRack, they're listed as the worst tire in their category. Spent about 5 minutes on each tire with a screw driver prying all the pebbles out of the Dunlop treads. Just going to use them, and replace with a superior option further down the road.
they’re loud. I only put on 5k miles on them but have a second set that I wrapped with Bridgestones RE71RS on 235/40/18.
I have the same tires on my 22 SE and they suck lol. Mine has the same issue with little pebbles stuck in the treads.
