Hi all,

I am currently using Yoko A048R tyres buthave been reading some good reviews about the Dunlops so was going to give them a try. Have also been told that they are cheaper than the Yoko's, but googling around I can't seem to find them priced any cheaper and there actually seem to be fewer suppliers. Can anyone recommend a supplier of the dunlops and or pass comment on them comapred to the Yoko's.

Thanks in advance

Try Mr Tyre Motorsport - they are one of the sponsors of the Dunlop Production Cup for Porsche, which runs those tyres. They are the cheapest supplier that I've found.

They are bloody good tyres, I used a pair of part worns on the rear of my Esprit, 8 races and about 1000 miles on the road before they were beyond legal.

I can't understand 48's, they are so extortionately priced (in the sizes I need) that I won't ever consider them no matter how good they are and I would say the Dunlops are the best (or at least in the top 3) of the bunch really.

...and just to reinforce my point, check on Tweek website,

295 30 18 Yokos £499.72 >>> Per tyre! .yikes

and Dunlops are £200.32 less.

I kind of inherited 48's - they were on the car when i bought it and have continued to use them. However the Dunlop price I am being quoted is £25 more per tyre - thought they were supposed to be cheaper!!

Yep Dunlop's ended costing more than 888's in my size (but Tweeks did have a 20% off offer)

I agree with the supplier being a good shout, I use them in CSSC and Dunlop Production Porsche series in a 968
