With 280 tread-ware and a $2600-$3000 price tag they fall short of bang for your buck imo ....for daily driving purposes anyway.

I suppose. Pushed them last night, they are very sticky, very very sticky. At points where I'd get tyre squeal with the pilots, ecsta spt's, sp9000's, maz1's, z4's and others, these are quiet without even a hint of breaking traction.

The steering feels more muted because of the stickiness it seems.

Might be easier to find them in 50 series. You check M Ramrattan in Vistabella?

Well ironically I had the option of either the Maxxis or the Dunlops when I went to purchase them but opted for the Maxxis instead because they were cheaper. As for the performance of them I have no experience with these tyres and this thread alone has mixed reviews about them.

Nexen N2000 is better than Dunlop Direzza DZ101. I have had both and now am running Kumho Solus tyres (195/50-16)

In fact, the Proxes never placed higher than eighth in any test, and in two dry tests, the autocross and the skidpad, the Toyo finished last, trailing the top finishers by significant margins. In some tests it felt better than it actually was performing, but overall, Geswein noted it was "soft and imprecise" and didn't "feel like a sport tire."


taken from caranddriver.com. running these tyres about 2 weeks now and agree completely with their analysis.

I've used the nexen n2000, n3000 and the dz101. The nexens outperform the dz101, the dunlops however are more reliable as, I've heard, the nexens self destruct.

I also agree that the kumho solus is better than the n2k, n3k and dz101.

If i am not mistaken, those htr200 is identical to the dunlop sp sport? one with white writing on the sidewall?
i am almost sure that those wont last 5yrs
its quite cheaply made compared to the same model 5yrs ago, if u happen to drop in any holes, the sidewall swells very easily

Really.. is google that hard to use?

Linky 1

Sailun Atrezzo Z4+AS

The Sailun Atrezzo Z4+AS seems to have Michelin in its design sights. It comes in 1st in ride quality. Everyone praised its gentle ride, it tied for 1st in lack of road noise and came in 3rd in bump absorbing. These are all Michelin strengths.

The Atrezzo has a very sporty aggressive looking tread pattern. But the tire is not a sports tire, it came 5th in the dry and 6th in the wet on the skidpad. Taken on their own its .833 G number is quite good. The tire's tread was just too soft to maintain any high grip load as it heated up. In fact it was better at .840 in the wet, the water probably cooling the tread. In the dry, it was possible to see the hot rubber coming off the tire.

The skidpad was also not kind to this tire with ratings of 3rd in the dry by time and 6th by G-load. This tire is very easy to control. In the wet, not so much, it came 6th, it just had too much tread squirm.

Overall on the track it was rated 6th, but for the street its many good qualities pulled it up to a very solid 3rd place, just a hair off first place. At the right retail price it is a winner among people wanting Michelin-like characteristics. List price is $125, estimated selling price is $96.



Linky 2

After all of the testing was done and our opinions were tabulated through a series of surveys and questionnaires, the results showed that the cross-section of reviewers at this event could not detect significant differences between the tires. It was then revealed that Tire #1 had been the Sailun Z4+AS and that Tire #2 had been the Continental ExtremeContact. The fact that none of the reviewers, some of which have serious racing credentials, felt strongly that one tire was better than the other, says a lot about the value of the Sailun tire. A quick survey at the time of the test from local tire shops showed the Continentals had a 70 percent price premium over the Saliuns—not exactly small change.

What about the Kumho Solus that was mentioned a few times on this page, ever tried them? I know for sure L&DG sells the 14'' and 15" for under $700.
