Dunlop new tire (Extreme Performance Summer).

The tire itself
The test against other tires

I like what I read. Anyone tried these tires yet or heard anything about them??

Discuss!

Looks good

Dousan_PG · 01-14-2008, 01:36 AM

retail price is damn good, imo!

karl wasabi · 01-14-2008, 01:39 AM

Isn't that the tire that used to be only available in Japan that the D1 guys were running??

So are you going to be the first to try them out??

Yep. Now there here in the states!

JTP has been running them all year.

These tires are good stuff. I had the chance to drive a few Subarus with them on... lots of grip, but they seem to get greasy once they start getting hot (kind of like RT-615s).

Not quite as good as RE-01Rs, but they are so much cheaper, it almost doesn't matter.

225/45 /17 is a no no size, its waaaaaaay too tall!!!

probably not for a while
i use RE01Rs and AD07s up front
i woldnt mind trying them in the bck though
but i have a bunch of tires to burn thru before that happens.

JTP said he loved them.

KA-T_240 · 01-14-2008, 12:05 PM

. Pricing looks good.

Hey at least they have wet grip! RT-615 isn't fun in the rain...

Yeah they are... But that's when I had 17x7.5 wheels. But I remember those prices for those sizes and now there like 45 bucks more...
BTW what do you think of RE-01r and AD07s?? What makes them different? Other than the price...

johngriff · 01-14-2008, 02:50 PM

I got a set of these used on a set of wheels, and flipped for them, have been using the lower model Dirreza and have loved it.

Been waiting for these....

racerx83858 · 01-14-2008, 06:08 PM

Ive got them on my s14 225/45/17, and there freaking awsome. ive never had any issues as far as heat yet. but ive got a track day coming up in Feb, so if anybody cares ill post my impression of them, then.

articdragon192 · 01-17-2008, 07:13 PM

These do run on the thicker side fyi. They look a lot fatter compared to thier dz101 counterparts.

They are a little wide. My buddy's 245 Z1s are noticably wider than my 245 RE-01Rs.

i cant base them on teh z1s

i dont have any z1 expirience

the AD07s and RE01Rs seemed to hav tested better then the z1 (se that link) but they also come w/ a hefty pricetag

my friends who runthem in grip (various grip racing events--redline events and such) love the RE01Rs!!!

MrChow · 01-17-2008, 07:51 PM

^^^
I meant between RE-01r and AD07. But you already have posted this in another thread.

Dousan_PG · 01-17-2008, 10:06 PM

personally i prefer the AD07
i feel it grips better
but thats just me

re01 JP is diff from re01r usa
i felt them in japan
much softer

TOMKAIRA93 · 01-18-2008, 12:48 PM

I have a set of two of these tires. I brought them from Japan and yes, they are really good tires. They handle pretty well and look pretty good, too. I'd recommend them!
