Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG

I have a friend who runs the Dunlop Mutants and he absolutely loves them. They're much better in the rain over the stock tires and he said they have more road feel as well.

I said fuck it, bought the second cheapest Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 ($200 for both) and man do i not feel anything different on the streets! Ive hit triple digits and they have all felt safe!

My car came with dunlop enasave ec300 tires which have maxium pressure of 2,75 bar and proper tire pressure for Leaf would be 2,6-3,0.

Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.

Im just now looking at replacing my OEM Dunlops at 17k. These are on a 2019 HD Road Glide.

Chinese tires now are pretty decent and are a bargain. The only serious issues I've faced surprisingly were from branded ones - I've had bubbles on Yokohama and Dunlop.

Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.

Loose stuff though? Not a fan.

Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.

I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.

My Dunlops were noisy and slippery (when wet) when they were brand new and then got obnoxiously loud after 20k miles, i finally got rid of them around 25k miles and switched to Continentals.
