Tires DUNLOP or GT Radial
I got 77500 miles on my Dunlops before changing to Defenders 2. Defenders 2 feel much better.
Der Satz Reifen Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (nicht der 2er) hat mich das letzte Mal in den Dimensionen 225/40 R18 91Y knapp unter 300 Euro gekostet.
Sada imam Dunlop (doduše odvozio tek jednu sezonu, napravio između 15 i 20 tisuća kilometara, prednje se potrošile 1mm, stražnje nisu niti 0.5mm, napominjem da volim stiskat auto i nije rijetko da startam, tako da ako se normalno vozi prednje bi se istoršile i manje, za sada sam zadovoljan)
The 999 rear does skid out much easier then the Dunlop American elite, however I like to skid so that is a pro for me. I ran thru 2 Dunlop elites quite quickly. For the record I did like the Dunlop AE, just didn’t like replacing it every season
The Elites are a much better tire and I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.
I have 28K miles on mine and they're still okay. I expect I'll get 35-40K out of them.
GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.
Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.
I live in north Georgia and last winter kept the Dunlops on. Once the temps were consistently in the low 30s it was like driving with Fisher Price wheels. I constantly had to go slow through turns and could feel slipping even at low speeds. It was not a fun time. I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all seasons this winter and the difference in feel in the cold is incredible. It’s been in the 20s this week and the tires aren’t slipping at all.
Absolute garbage in winter here in central new york. Need one say more. Summer tire in warm wet conditions are satisfactory. Cold dry conditions they have a slight slippery feel and if there's any cold wet conditions like below 50 they tend to move the car around.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
