Tires Toyo or DUNLOP
I had two sets of Dunlop Sport on my C class in the past, my opinion are that they are good quality/price ratio but not top tier. I would personally consider getting Dunlop in the future.
Got the new Toyo Open Country AT III EV tires. They ride A LOT SMOOTHER.
I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.
I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.
ive done some track days with my q5s at 22 cold and target temp hot for me is about 28-29psi rear. wears perfectly and zero tears
UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)
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.
Old post but I’ll chime in. I’m currently running them on a ninja 400 and I don’t like them. I ride hard and ride at the track. These step out all the time and are not confidence inspiring. I’ve lost the rear a couple of times at heavy lean and nearly lost the front today (saved them all). They don’t warm up quickly either.
I have the crappy toyo tires and am actually shopping around for better tires.
