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.
when i had my 03 wolfsburg i ran 225/45/17 dunlop signature HP's, amazing tire for the money
My friends were sponsored by "WANLI" for drifting back in 2008 or so. They worked great! Super hard and long lasting! I could go through multiple drift events with my non turbo KA engine in my 240 sx. OMG terrible tires for driving on the street though!
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.
Can confirm , the dunlops are absolute garbage in the snow. Bought a set of beater oem 16 wrx wheels off of marketplace today and will be slapping on some premium awd snow donut shoes tomorrow, almost hit a curb going five mph leaving a stoplight. They have as much traction in snow , as a puck has on a air hockey table.. prepare to buy tires if you live in a winter challenged climate .
