Does anyone have any experience with these tires?

I have been running Dunlop Sport Maxx's on my Saleen, they came with them from the factory and I never had any problems so replaced them like for like when they needed replacing after 20k miles.

Mixed opinions...

I have them on my STi (from factory). They're not bad. They've survived two trackdays on a 2 ton car and are still road legal! Surprisingly good grip for a road tyre but I find them to be a little hard to read on the limit in anything other than dry conditions.

I had a set on my last car, couldn't really fault them, good grip wet or dry and I don't recall them being too noisy either.

Had these on an XK. Thought they were perfectly fine in the wet and dry. Up there with the F1s and Potenzas I'm used to.

Sounds like they are good enough for me, thanks guys!

Perhaps it's a Golf thing, a lot of others reported hating them on their Golf!!

Hey ho, if they work for everyone else go for it haha!!

Had them on the front of my 9 5 Aero and they were fine, actually preferred them to the Goodyear Assy F1s they replaced.
One thing I noticed was i got a few better mpg running these compared to other tyres Ive had on the car - Falken zx912, Hankook V12 Evo, F1s
They were pretty quiet, had good grip wet or dry and the sidewalls were slightly stiffer than the F1s.

Another one for the new STi, no complaints here either, except find them easier to read in the wet. And I hate the wet.
