Tires DUNLOP or VITOUR
My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.
235/35/19 Dunlop sp winter Max or whatever they are called. Absolutely love them.
• Front wheels has stock dunlops and rear wheels has all season but forgot the name. Gonna get new sets before next winter starts.
I have Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs, there's a Dunlop Direzza ZIII now. I like them because although they're not quiteee as grippy as the RE71r, I've heard the RE71rs lose their grip after just a few heat cycles. These Dunlops are supposed to hold up better to heat cycling.
Here are my initial impressions:
Pros:
a) Quieter than the Dunlop Super Sport 7000s that come stock. This could be because my stock tires were showing some surficial cracks in the rubber, although this complaint is normal. The stock tires crap out within 50,000 km anyhow.
e) Good rain performance...no issue with braking during rainfall on these tires.
Cons:
a) Sizing of the stock tires means that the tires will follow the downslope direction of the road crown, even if it's a minor one (this is partially due to the short wheelbase and hyper sensitive steering rack). I got my tires aligned after the install, before the alignment brigade chimes in.
Overall, I am very happy with the tires. They work as advertised and didn't tear a hole in a my wallet. They are a valid option for those seeking new tires for the Fit.
I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.
I have Dunlop Graspic DS-3s on my car in the winter and they perform quite well on dry and wet pavement. They are a bit more slippy and the feel is a bit more muddy
probably a terrible choice, i couldn’t get rid of the stock dunlops fast enough
40f is like ice skates . I drove in 4 inches on dunlops in my 18 wrx , wow , that was a challenge
Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.
