Tires DUNLOP or Nokia
Use them for winter tires. Best winters I’ve owned honestly
I have used Nokian Hakka's of various types for years. I've been happy with every single set, although the all-seasons were not quite up to the standard of the dedicated snows.
Solid quality tires. I have a set of Nokian Ones on my daily driver Bolt EUV.
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.
I just took off a set of Nokians due to getting dry. They were rated for 50k miles, I had 85k on them and they still had 6-7/32 of tread left. Never a traction issue even in snow and ice, even in weather where I had no business being out there with a front wheel drive vehicle. So they checked all the boxes for me. Quiet with good traction, extra load on many models and a great overall tire.
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.
Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.
Loose stuff though? Not a fan.
Dang, I got the craptastic Dunlops on my '21 R4PSE, but we're only at 21k miles. Sad to see somebody got 45k miles on a set. Dang, I hate to replace them prematurely, so that means I have to endure another 2 years of squeaky skittish tires.
Looking at the Dunlops, they are rated poorly in pretty much every review I saw. They only have a treadwear rating of 360 which is pretty low for an all season crossover tire which explains why they're cooked at 20k miles. Most reviews I see are people complaining about them wearing out at 20-30k miles and being terrible in wet/snow.
