Tires DUNLOP or Achilles

I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.

ive done some track days with my q5s at 22 cold and target temp hot for me is about 28-29psi rear. wears perfectly and zero tears

I love the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 on my GT4. Amazing tires. Never thought I’d like a tire more than the Michelin Cup2.

Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.

I got 77500 miles on my Dunlops before changing to Defenders 2. Defenders 2 feel much better.

I swapped my Dunlops over to my VA, and in colder temps (dry) they feel harder/slick compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 that was on there. Not sketchy or anything, but I could feel a difference. Temps were about 30°F.

I have the same set of tires and have noticed when my driveway is wet or icy it gets a little squirrelly. I did drive in a snow storm the other day and they did pretty decent, no complaints but they do kinda suck on the ice.

I had dunlops and switched to continentals after a blow out

It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.

In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.

Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.

Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them.  Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered.  Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water.  At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life.  Dangerous!  Avoid!
