Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.
But I remember back in the day (PS4s are ancient now) when I swapped from Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s to PS4s and two things stood out - how much mechanical grip they have, and how long they take to warm up.
On cold mornings, they genuinely felt like track slicks. The Dunlops would be "warmed up" and gripping fine by the time I reached the main road - maybe half a mile.
The PS4s, on the other hand, would still feel twitchy and unpredictable halfway to work (~18 miles). It took a good 8-9 miles before they came in. And before they warm up, they are very on/off - loads of mechanical grip, but almost no compound grip, so they can suddenly let go.
Drove 3hours in a blizzard like a TANK. I was able to drive 70mph with confidence, everyone else was going 20-30mph. I do have nitto motivo 365s which are 3pms certified but dang im impressed.
Have 5k on these. Great tires.
I have 275/70/18 p rated on mine and am really happy with them. Quiet, great performance in rain and light off roading. Hopefully should be able to test out snow performance soon.
Put Nitto Rodgre Grapplers on the truck, I am happier with the road noise, however I noticed that Driver+/Highway Assist doesn’t keep speed steady anymore.
I had nitto motivo before and they were pretty solid for a tire.
Dunlop m/s nove cetiri gume stavljene, i dva puta me okrenulo za 180 stepeni u krivini pritom nisam isao vise od 15ak na sat, otprilike da su mi uvalili neke replike dunlopa ????
To add to other comments, I had a Dunlop catastrophically fail going 90 mph, it was my rear wheel and it was a wild ride for 10 secs, I came out fine but my bike took quite a beating
Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
