Hi,

 

Having some trouble deciding between the Dunlop SP Sports MAXX and Goodyear F1 GS-D3 (German).

 

Appreciate if users of the Dunlop could help out with their comments here. I guess the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 (German) is well known and well-respected so that would be a safe choice, but was wondering if the Dunlop could meet the challenge. My main considerations would be wet and dry grip and I driving a S80.

 

TIA

well, i havent been on the Goodyear F1 rubbers before. But the Sports MAXX is equally good on wet & dry roads. It isnt noisy as well. Been on it for 10mths & i'm a satisfied user! Oh...i'm driving an integra [thumbsup]

Wow! You are the type of Bro that I'm looking for, someone who is on the F1 and also on the Maxx. How would you rate that wet grip for the Dunlop compared with the F1s? Comparable or lose out a little to the F1s? I understand that the Maxx is Japan made, is it true?

 

Thanks.

Is it true also that MAXX cost less then German F1s? Any recommendation for tire shop dealing in MAXX?

I think you will have to fully spec the tire before the shops can quote.

see post #11 above

not accurate meaning that somehow the results dun tally with the general other reviews such as wheels/tirerack/1010tires/general public

slidely skewed

 

eg..f1 ..really that good? if use it...its handling is not _that_ good comparable to sp maxx which really handles excellently, and its dry performance..not that excellent

 

even my dz do brakeing in heavy water ponding down the clem ave 6 to pie bend at 80km/h and i do ebrake also can handle , on bend, and goes where i point it
