Tires DUNLOP or OEM Toyota
I have dunlop mutants on my husaberg supermoto. I love them but the sides tear up pretty quickly under hard use. They're nice and sticky though!
I just wanted to share my opinion of the Dunlop Mutants after about 3000km of fixed use (highway touring, mountain twists, commuting, and fire/gravel/cottage roads in wet/dry/cold conditions. The tires are brilliant and my new favourite road tire.
But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
Last two tires I ran were GPR300s. The traction was good in the corners, only negative for me was the lifetime, only 3,000mi each before having to replace.
Dunlop is a fine brand and the Sportmax is perfectly good tire. You will be fine.
Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.
Loose stuff though? Not a fan.
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.
I was able to break loose/slide the stock tires during my test drive in January.
I made the mistake of driving my 2018 on summer tires too late into the fall. There was no controlling it - the tires had no traction.
Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
