Tires DUNLOP or SUMITOMO
Just ran the Dunlop's for a week on dirt and found them to be vastly better than the STRs. There was no perceivable compromise on the road either. The Dunlop has stiff sidewalls and can be aired down to even 18 psi (which I did for some gnarly single track).
I rode with q4's in the rain yesterday and alittle today. Did well on the track for B group.
I can’t speak for the pirelli, but the Q4’s offer lots of grip until you get to a good racing pace. After that you need slicks.
I went from Q3+ to Q4 for similar reasons. Instantly a success.
Continental 860+ I think has been the best reviewed winter tire in EU for several years now. I drive Dunlop, because the Continentals were out of stock.
I now have ZIIIs on my Miata and have been enjoying them. I’m not super picky and they were cheap but the grip is astonishing. Road noise is probably average.
My Dunlop wintersport 3ds have 4 seasons on them right now, this will be their last. they are not as good as they were new, but they are decent and predictable.
I absolutely hated the stock gpr-300s on my ninja. In the dry they worked fine (only lowsided twice in a parking lot from trying to make the smallest possible circles), but I slid out constantly in the wet (thankfully never crashed) at normal lean angles and not very much throttle. I replaced them after about 4k miles.
About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.
I use Dunlop Direzza DZ102. Good for normal street driving. Tend to slide when doing aggressive driving into corners or turns. I do not like them too much.
