Tires DUNLOP or Goodyear

I had a 62 Corvair. Because of the swing axel on the early ones it was a bad idea to use radial tires. I had Dunlop Gold Seal bias ply tires and the car cornered like it was on rails. It was a good car.

I have Dunlop Winter Response tires and NA grips in snow like crazy. Had cheaper ones some time ago and difference is stunning.

I’ve got Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack 265/70R16 on my 2020 TRD PRO. They’re loud, but let me tell you a story: December 24, 2023 (or 2022) from Nashville we were heading up to West side of Chicago on I65. The further north we went, the weather turned into a blizzard. Semi’s, cars and trucks were all over the road spun out on the side of the road. Could see maybe 20 feet ahead. Seeing everyone else either spun out or driving about 10MPH. Around Elizabethtown KY, I put my Taco into 4 wheel drive (one click of the dial counter-clockwise). With those DuraTracs and the 4 wheel drive, I was able to go 35-40MPH easy driving and fully in control. By Lafayette, IN we were about the only vehicle on the road. All others left or were spun out. Scared the hell out of us. It was amazing. Now, I don’t know about the other makes, but I‘ll take the noise when it means the safety in terrible situations. IMVHO

My next set will be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both tirerack and tyrereview rave about the good blend of traction, comfort, and wet capabilities.

For a road like this Dunlop Mutant. If you look at what supermoto riders do with them, purely insane. And from my own experience with them, very very good traction even in cold weather around the freezing point or when wet. Does'nt smear when its very hot at least with my 100hp bike and its very good in corners. They look very rough but they run quite smooth. Also you can get ~10k miles out of them.

An easy performance mod is lighter wheels with track tires, the stock dunlops are alright but pretty underwhelming for being a 200treadwear tire. If you want better ride quality, switch to a high performance all season.

Uzeo sad Dunlop Winter. Ne winter sport 5 nego samo Winter. Zasad ok na ovom mokrom.

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

Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.

I am disappointed with the factory Good Year Wranglers it came with. Tread level on my tires are at 3, Ive been rotating every 5-6k miles, they’re literally bald. Unbelievable.
