Tires DUNLOP or OEM Subaru

I just switched from PSS to ZII and did my first event last two days ago. I prefer the ZII for track days. It feels more precise and did well in the wet. I felt that it was a bit easier to modulate braking on the ZII. On the street it seems a bit louder and there is more feel from expansion seams and other road surface defects.

Once you talk about ditching the crap Dunlops that come from the factory and adding a rear sway bar, you are talking big-time fun.

I run 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza star spec at the track, they have been great

YES< Subaru ahs better AWD, but put on Tig good snow tires like Dunlop M3 or Pirelli or Michelin, and there is no obstacle. I used those tires on FWD and RWD cars in Southern Alps and never had issues, never got stuck, always break on a dime. With 4Motion they are unstoppable.

just imagine the time if those ****ty dunlop all sesasons were replaced with a decent michelin pilot a/s, bf goodrich g force kdw, or continental extreme contact dws. guaranteee that time would drop by another half second or so.

Good news: the breaks/tires worked GREAT for stopping quickly for an accident in front of me.

I had a set of Dunlop SP Sport tires on the Sentra a while back. They were good in the dry, decent in the wet and sucked ass in the cold.

I'll never use Dunlop again, although I had the SP Sports as OEM on the GLI not the Signature. They ran like garbage, had a horrible lifespan, and provided no benefit above the Generals I have now. Yet they are much pricier.

I hate the stock tires on my 14 sGT. Very poor road feel. The dry grip is horrendous and the road nose is almost unacceptable. Especially right at 55 miles an hour. I can literally feel the buzzing they produce at that speed. 100% would not buy these tires.

The Dunlop's are worthless if you plan on doing any sort of off road driving. They were put on there to mainly optimize fuel consumption.
