Impressive
Last week I had some Dunlop Dirreza Star Spec Z1 installed on Coryn . My previous tires were the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 . They were decent tires . Excellent in the rain and mud actually . Decent controllable traction at its 240 treadwear limit . Its pricey though , $ 118 a tire . But you can get 35,000 miles or more from a set of the Michelins .
So I put 400 slow and easy miles on the Dunlops . Then I went to Deals Gap Tn (aka Tail of the Dragon ) yesterday . Let me just say that Coryn feels like a new car . Everything is now perfect . Of course I got it all on HD video , which will be posted in the next few days .

Haha! I got my 205/50/15 Star Specs on yesterday too. So AWESOME. Went and hauled ass through Mulholland and Decker out in Malibu. Awesome canyons. The car feels so dialed.

I was thinking of getting these when I need to replace the all-season Falkens. (I have winter tires now)

What size tire did you end up running with?
