Tires DUNLOP or Shinko
I have some decent ones with the Dunlop Wintermaxx II's. I'd say it does great w decent to great winters on.
De custo x benefício faz anos que só uso dunlop, depois que comecei a usar deles nunca tive dor de cabeça com pneu.
No experience with studded tires but I had Dunlop Winter Sport snow tires on my VW GTI VR6 and it was ridiculous. I was able to do the speed limit when I should have been going half that or less, lol.
Finally got a chance to run 5 sessions on the Dunlop Mutant tires at a local track. Overall thoughts - what a great tire. Amazing feel, which is an intangible, but I love how this tire delivers feedback and I really like the profile of the 120/150 combo on my WR250R Supermoto. Overall grip is fantastic but you can definitely feel they do not want to be pushed at a very fast pace like you could on a ContiAttack or Q5. They have way more grip than some older gen tires like the Pilot Power 2CT though, possibly as much as the original Dunlop Q3. The tread pattern does not squirm at all either, felt super stable under trail braking. Wear pattern is also solid but that’s expected with a 250. Highly recommend giving these a try for a do everything set up.
My z900rs came with Dunlop sport max gpr-300s. There is a series of twistiest at the bottom of my road…so lucky! Car takes them at 25mph safely. The z900 with gpr-300’s takes these same twisties at 50-60mph pretty solid and I ain’t no gp racer.
I ran these tires once to save money. You can get a knee down but noticably less traction than something like an s22. Afterwords I switched to michelin power 5's, loved them.
My experience with the plain Q5 is that that are super sensitive to pressure, 30 cold rear was tearing, 31 was minimal, and 32 was pretty clean with smooth throttle on and pretty rough pavement.
Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.
Dunlops are my least favorite tires. They suck and gpr300’s, which you have, are cheap even for Dunlops.
