Ken,

I had the Dunlop 9090 on my previous BMW M5, Worst tires yet. Poor grip, I lit up the tires every single time I floored the car. There sidewall seems to be weak as well, consistently loosing grip around turns where their replacements didn't. They last longer than the other tires you mention for a reason, they sacrifice performance for increased tread life. The dunlops are cupped ala motorcycle tires. I would stay away from them especially knowing the kind of driving you do.

That said, if you get the ones Evan mentions above, you should be in great shape, they have a much more agressive design than the 9000 series I mention

 

I agree, I had the Dunlops on my Brabus SL55 AMG and they were horrible....the ones I have here are amazing though!!! Wish they made them in 19" or I would have um...
Evan

 

I really want these.



but they do not come in the 19 inch sizes. Are there any top secret sources to get them in 19"??

 

Ahhh, Corsa's!!! Very popular with the GT2/GT3 crowd for both on and off the track...Not ideal in the wet, but none the less, great in the dry...expensive and don't last long...I have not heard of any bigger than 18's...Time for new wheels????

 

Ken,
The corsas and dunlops I have are VERY similar, however both have only been produced in 18" so no secret places to go
Evan

 

Corsa's from Pirelli's page...no 19's. They are classified as competition tires by pirelli

With 19's, I think MPS2's are as good as you can get...

 

The 305 size that we offer was a specially developed Tuner size from Dunlop. This tire differs slightly from other models, in that the development work was done on the Nurburgring track for a high speed street tire test after the original SP 9000 had already been released. The 305 offers excellent dry and wet traction and typically longer tread life than other so called tuner sized tires. We use this with all of our wheel and tire packages and have gotten great feedback from end users.

Incidentally the car that the initial test was done on was a specially prepared 993 TT with the 305/25/19 that broke the record for cars with street tires..

 

Thanks Hersh!! And thanks Erik for getting the section sizes I asked for!!

 

What is it with your attraction to tires Hershel !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Much like a woman.. they are all different, can be noisy at times.. and come in all sizes..
