Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG

I drove through ice and snow with the GTs before switching to GO15s. I was pleasantly surprised.

I got about the same on my dunlop roadsport 2 tires, I'm on my 2nd set!

I’ve used Nankang plenty of times on my older cars, they were fine. Drove fine in wet, drove fine in dry, no louder than any other tires.

I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.

Just got a set of Dunlop Trailmax Missions mounted on my 800 XCa and very impressed with them so far. They grip surprisingly well on the road and handle gravel and service roads/hard pack dirt roads with ease.

A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.

got 15k km on mine at this moment, still enough thread but dry rot is starting to slowly set in on the front because I used it all year round, and salt did its thing. It's still usable, but will replace soon.

My 21’ stock dunlops have only about 10k on em and are almost shot ????

Yeah I got like 10k MAYBE. The stock dunlops suck. And frankly I hate that brand.

I got 10k out of mine before they were getting dangerous.
