Just about worn through my D605 on the front.
Wonderful on road. Not too loud and gives you plenty of grip in the twisties. Have found some cupping after it’s worn down but that’s pretty normal for any knob tire.
Off road handles hard pack dirt and gravel easily. Rocks and roots are okay as well. The only area is had little traction was soft sand and mud. I haven’t found a good front tire for mud yet so that’s expected.
Overall for the price and rating as a 50/50 tire, it handles very well.
I’ll probably end up with another set of Nankang AR-1s next.
Mine have 30k miles on em and I live in Cali and they havent given me any trouble. I drove to Utah last year as well for a camping trip, they held up good in the heavy rain and dirt. I plan on swapping to an all around better tire though next year
I have 3 sets of wheels+tires.
Nankang NS-2R for track on Teamdynamics
Dunlop Q3+ Tons of grip, and good milage for the performance. Just be careful in the cold.
I loved the Sottozero 3's on my previous STi. I got a set of Dunlop WinterMaxx on my R now (got them on sale from TireRack when I got winter wheels) and while they're fine and even good in the snow, they are horrific on wet pavement.
I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.
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
