Tires DUNLOP or PHANTOM
I rode them on a friends t7. I really liked them, from my impression they really deliver on that "50/50"-saying of Dunlop. They have a very stiff sidewall which helps with punctures (compared to let's say a anakee wild).
I love the trail max missions on my GS. They last well too, at 9k miles right now.
Just ran the Dunlop's for a week on dirt and found them to be vastly better than the STRs. There was no perceivable compromise on the road either. The Dunlop has stiff sidewalls and can be aired down to even 18 psi (which I did for some gnarly single track).
I rode with q4's in the rain yesterday and alittle today. Did well on the track for B group.
I can’t speak for the pirelli, but the Q4’s offer lots of grip until you get to a good racing pace. After that you need slicks.
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 naive and thought I'd be able to get away with the stock Dunlop tires until my breaks locked up on a snowy road approaching a red light at 5mph. Get some all weather tires asap!
Swap them out! The Dunlops are unsafe below 40F.
Not a fan of them. They grease up so easy. About burned through a rear in a day running on dunlops recommended hot pressure.
