Hi Anyone tried the above? How's the wet grip? Any idea the price for 18"

As above... 1. Bridgestone RE001 2. DZ101 3. Michelin PS3 For those who have used at least 2 of these, which ones have the: 1- Stiffest sidewall 2- BEST wet weather grip 3- POSITIVE steering feedback in all conditions I don't care about comfort levels, etc etc, only these three things.. I've used 3 sets of RE001s for nearly 4 years over 2 different cars (a Getz and then my current Lancer Ralliart as my daily driver), so kinda lost touch with the rest of the tyre range My last set of RE001s lasted exactly a year (time to change this week) when I clocked about 55,000km so that gives you an idea of the sort of driver I am. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks :)

As topic, any one uses these tires, & have any feedback, good/bad. Also any one know where to get this at best rates. Spec of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec Its classified under Extreme Performance Summer tires. It will be serve as replacement for my discontinued Bridegestone RE010R. My friend actually recommended me Bridgestone RE11, but I think its more expensive (branding & Yen vs SGP) but not sure if its necessary better.

225/50/R17 $270 per piece nett Is it considered expensive? Thanks..

More info @ http://www.dunloptires.com/catalog/direzza...Z1StarSpec.html AKRON, Ohio -- Fresh off the starting line, Dunlop's Direzza Sport Z1 ultra-performance tire already has a star next to its name in 2008. A star has always implied something special, and on the new Direzza Sport Z1 "Star Spec" summer tire, the star designation carries prestigious cachet. For example, "Star Spec" helps provide faster lap times from the start and "consistent grip on ensuing laps" in sanctioned events, according to Matt Neidert, performance tire brand manager for Dunlop in North America. The new tire features the "Star Spec" tread compound, which helps a performance car's initial dry grip during sanctioned amateur driving events, such as autocross and high-performance track-events hosted by regional car clubs. The new Direzza Sport Z1 "Star Spec" is available now, qualifying it for use in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) national events. According to section 13.3 of the 2008 SCCA SOLO rules, tires must be readily available by April 30 to qualify. The "Star Spec" predecessor won SCCA's hotly contested Street Touring Ultra class at the San Diego National Tour on Sunday. Drivers Thomas Kenna and Richard Jung set the fastest overall times for street tires with a first and fourth place. The Southern California duo raced on full treads, while competitors used shaved tires. "'Star Spec' means impressive dry grip out of the gate. Driving enthusiasts won't have to wait for their tires to 'come in' at the beginning of an event, helping to provide an edge over the field. This is also great news for owners of smaller vehicles, who sometimes struggle to work their tires up to the point of peak grip," Neidert said. Direzza Sport Z1 "Star Spec" is a DOT-approved summer performance tire for hard-core driving enthusiasts and car-club members. The tire helps deliver superb dry traction and handling at regional car-club events like track days, driving schools, and autocross. A high-response directional tread pattern with circumferential grooves helps create a consistent contact patch on the pavement for a smooth feel and seamless transition. An "optimal mold shape" helps provide a consistent footprint shape and uniform pressure distribution across the footprint for enhanced cornering, he said. The tire also features JointLess Band technology to help enable smooth performance at highway speeds, he added. Direzza Sport Z1 "Star Spec," available in 20 sizes with rim diameters from 15 to 18 inches, replaces the Direzza Sport Z1, which was introduced in August 2007. Source: Dunlop Tires

Anyone idea if our local stores have this?? http://tyre.dunlop.co.jp/tyre/lineup/passenger/z1/index.html

hi, any bros using Dunlop Direzza tyres? i wanna change mine. how much does it cost for 185/65 R14? Thanks

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 have anyone use this set of tyre before???? any reviews???? i'm looking at their 185/55 R14 size....

Any comments on this tires as i just changed my aspecDB to this.. As in performance wise..

Which is better in term of dry and wet and also noise level? Also where can get good price? May hv top change tires soon ...

Just wanted to compare these 3 tires. I've tested the DIREZZA and it was quite good so far. Good grip, light and quiet, but heard that tire wear higher. Anyone has any experience with these 3 tires, can pls give your comment?? Will be good to see which Dunlop is the bang for money.

Anyone knows where got sell a wide variety of Dunlop tires? Called up many shops but they do not have my size.

Just want to share something with the brothers and sisters here. My new acquisition as of yesterday is the above Dunlop Direzza DZ101 195/55/R15 84V tyres. My options were: Yokohama C.Drive, Bridgestone G3, Yokohama ES100, Yokohama AVS Sports and Michelin Pilot Preceda (just in case someone here is also trying to narrow down his/her choices in the same range). In the end, I picked the new Dunlop Direzza due to an attractive tread pattern, good reviews from mechanic and competitive pricing. I haven't been able to find anyone else who's using this model (as it's still relatively new) so if you are using it and can share some experience of this model after longer use, please share it here! I will post the review after my tyres have scrubbed in and probably after 5000km. Thanks!
