Tires DUNLOP or Cooper

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.

I have a set of 34 maxx's and I love them. Pretty quite on the road and they do great in mud and loose dirt/gravel. I'm pretty impressed with them all around

I have them on my 01 4Runner in a 265/75r16 and love them. They wander a little on the highway but not horribly. I’ve only had them in rocks, loose soft dirt, and shallow mud but they impressed the hell out of me the first time I took it out after install.

Very happy with mine on my heavy af Land Cruiser. They have 30k miles on them and easily more than half tread left. In Colorado they seem to be an ideal tire - they handle snow/ice far better than any MT I've had and they rock crawl with the best of them.

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've got 265/75/r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT's in the "C" rating on my '17 Frontier. They're the new, more aggressive design that came out in fall 2018. I've been very impressed with them on gravel and loose dirt/sand/rocky unimproved roads in the southwest and on plenty of snowy, sketchy mountain roads around Utah. They ride well and are quiet on the highway, in my opinion at least. I lost maybe .5-1 mpg over the stock highway tread tires, and that includes going up a size and from P to LT tires.

I have the Zeons on my MZ3 right now and I have no complaints about them. My last set wore out pretty gracefully. But bang for your buck is definitely there with these.

2 years ago, I got Dunlop Winter Sport 4Ds (205/55/16) for 443 shipped. 4Ds aren't the best winter tire out, but really I didn't need blizzaks.

Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".

I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
