Dunlop Direzza DZ101 - anyone running these?

[chad]

I was going to order a set of Yokohama S. Drives from tire rack but they are on backorder for 6 to 8 weeks. I see that the Dunlops are in the same price range, any have these mounted??? Looking for a set of 195/50/15's for my new RS's.

Ive had both and i think they are a fine tire for all around use. neither excel at anything but do everything pretty well

Im running s drives on my m2 now.

Yup.

I'm runnin' them (6.5" x 15") my "high visibilty daily driver."

Not as long wearing, not as good in the wet.

Great if you dont drive much -- or in the rain.

Dudley (dudonly) I believe is running these. I don't think that he has mentioned any complaints other than they get a bit slippery in the cold rain (which we get often here in DC).

What he (and I) like about those tires is that they have a 'large shoulder' in the sidewall. That's as best as I can describe it. The sidewall sticks out an extra amount which can protect the rim of your wheels when parking in the city.

HTH,

Yes..... I have these tires in the 205 50 15 versions and I run them hard in the rain and snow and they have been surprisingly good tires for the poor quality of DC roads.

HTH, Dudley
