Tires DUNLOP or ADVAN

But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.

Last two tires I ran were GPR300s. The traction was good in the corners, only negative for me was the lifetime, only 3,000mi each before having to replace.

Dunlop is a fine brand and the Sportmax is perfectly good tire. You will be fine.

So I came to event day on my normal Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres. In practice, I found that on the R-spec I could do an 89 second lap, but consistently run at 92 seconds (I could do consecutive 90 second laps, but brakes would become the weak link after about 4 consecutive laps). On the street tyres I could do a 93 second lap, but due to brakes again, nominated at 95 second lap.

I got myself the Grantrek AT5s. For me they have a good compromise between traction offroad and road noise on tarmac. I also fitted a full spare with one of those AT5s on it. Fits perfectly where the 3/4 sits.

They're good on 40+ weather. And they're loud. Freaking louder than the Blizzaks and those are snow tires with huge knobs. They're stock tires so use em as much as you can then buy better tires.

Personally, I thought they were ok, during summer they handled great. Never felt uncomfortable in the rain or snow either. But once they finally wore out (and I mean…nothing was left on them), I swapped them for a pair of Nitto Neo Gen, their better and I feel like they grip a ton

I was able to break loose/slide the stock tires during my test drive in January.

I made the mistake of driving my 2018 on summer tires too late into the fall. There was no controlling it - the tires had no traction.

Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
