its a very good tire but dont expect a loong life out of them. good life for a sticky rubber but if you after long life this is not the one to get. this is more performance oriented. i prefer RE-01Rs / RE11 for the stick or G force sport for long life. depends on what your after. but great for autoX / daily driver mix in my opinion.
I had them stock on my .:R32. I easily got 25K miles out of the first set, but could easily have gotten 30K had I not bubbled one and blown out another in on of the 3 winters I have had the car. At 25K I got 2 more tires and the noise is about similar, so they didn't get too loud after 2 years. They actually are a lot quieter than the new Contiprocontact tires on the new TDI, designed to be low rolling resistance and quiet.
I have them (Dunlops) on my MINI (215/45/17) as my summer road set. They've seen some auto-x (6 events) over the past year and a couple of track days (4-6 hours total). They've held up quite well. Great feel when breaking away from traction, handle heat well and for the type of tire they are, wear quite well. I've had them for ~10,000km.
These are not the tires for you if you are at all concerned about economy. I got 13,000 out of mine last time plus two HPDEs. That last time being the last time I daily-drove those tires too.
my 195/55/15 direzza's lasted last summer. approximately 7k, with over 40 autox runs, and 4 hot laps at a local track. they were about 50% remaining tread. keep in mind they were on a miata.
My 09 Lux only has about 6000 miles but when I bought it I expected to replace the OE tires right away. I had done my homework and came up with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature as the best bet, at a good price too.
The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.
The Dunlop's are worthless if you plan on doing any sort of off road driving. They were put on there to mainly optimize fuel consumption.
Yea man,those Wanli's are some crazy cheap,made in china,low quality tires
Went with $99 Wanli Chinese tires for immediate use. Thought how bad can it be just one day on these cheap tires.... WRONG! Wanli S-something bunch of random numbers touring tire: - Terrible road noise. A constant droning HUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :banghead: - Fall apart while turning, car literally felt as if wandering side to side. - For brand new tires they broke traction easily on acceleration. Very poor grip. - Zero feel, I mean the GTI isn't grounded to the ground to start with but this rubber killed off any feel for what the wheels were doing.
