Tires DUNLOP or Giti

My Dunlops lasted 40k, I’d say most would be around 30-40.

Ich fahre seit Ewigkeiten Dunlop Wintersport. Egal auf welchem Auto und in welcher Dimension, ich habe damit nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Egal ob in Mitteldeutschland, in den Alpen oder bei einem meiner vielen Ausflüge nach Skandinavien und entsprechend richtigen Winter. Zudem hatten wir auch über Jahre Dunlop als Standardreifen auf unseren Testfahrzeugen, entsprechend viele Kilometer habe ich mit diesen schon unter sehr winterlichen Bedingungen zurückgelegt.

Dunlop Direzza ZIII are fantastic even in a bit of rain.

I have run Gitisynergy H2 in 195/65R15 size. Where it loses out is sheer feel and dry grip. The sidewalls on H2 are softer, tends to roll a lot, leading to a numb and delayed handling feel. On the plus side, it was very puncture resistant and had wet grip on par with the T005. I did not feel that the tyres were sketchy in the wet. Wear was average - at around 40,000km mark the sidewalls were wearing down into almost nothing and the tyre was becoming a bit donut-shaped.

Have it on my model 3 for almost 30,000km already, so far so good. Not as noisy as my PS4s but definitely not grippier as well but it’s negligible on everyday normal driving. Its super cheap tho, I can change out tyres every 2-3 years and it’s cheaper than a set of PS4/5s

For a summer tire for a road car I think the Dunlop ZIII are a good choice. Long in the tooth and not competitive as a track tire anymore but great in the rain and great on the road.

Corolla 49 k on dunlop got ok tread life still, did drive carefully

I have a 2021 VW Tiguan SE 4Motion with 43k miles, still rocking its factory Giti tires. While prepping for a road trip, I discovered that all four are dry rotting pretty badly, and one is starting to crack on the sidewall. Kinda looks like I needed tires yesterday.

Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.

I personally experienced a blow out from Dunlop tires in the 90’s. Although they have improved since then i still wouldnt risk it.
