Tires DUNLOP or Goodyear

I'm a big fan of the GY SC3R for HPDE. The grip is so impressive once you get some heat into them.

Put new tires on the crosstrek (some Goodyear from Costco) and they are better but I think that's to be expected.

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.

Goodyear eagle ones on the factory 19s. Solid ride, comfortable, and plenty of traction

I've got Goodyear Reliant All-Seasons on mine currently. Got them for $62 a piece last Novermber, and have good luck with most Goodyear and Cooper tires.

For summer, I am still using the stock Dunlop Enasaves. They are quiet and efficient generally, but make a lot of noise in the corners.

First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.

Stock Goodyear tires on our 2020 MYLR were dead before 12,000 miles. Been buying tires from DiscountTire ever since.
