Bridgestone Potenza S001 vs. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx -- XKR

[Filos Hippos]

Anyone experience with the bridgestones?

Are these any good compared to the OEM fitted Dunlops?

Other tires recommended for fitment on 2008 XKR?

Thanks!

I use Toyo Proxes T1-Rs on my XKR

I have 18" wheels, I haven't lookes if they do 20" sizes for the 08 XKR



They keep me on the black stuff so must be good

I recently had to change my rear tyres and due to problems getting hold of alternatives, ended up with the Dunlops again. They wouldn't have been my first choice because it was too easy to break traction even at motorway speeds if using full throttle. The strange thing is that although they appear identical, they are like a completely different tyre to the ones that came off. The ride is slightly firmer, but there is so much grip compared to the originals, it's been a revelation. So I wouldn't rule out the Dunlops. It seems that they have changed something fairly significantly in the last two years.
