I'm sure all fans of road racing would like to join me in paying tribute to Joey Dunlop. He recently extended his record to 26 wins at the Isle of Man TT before he was tragically killed in a 125 cc Race in Tallin the capital of Estonia. It is not difficult to draw parallels with another legend, the Scottish F1 champion Jim Clark, both men were generous, modest men who achieved success at the highest level, yet were killed in small events they were doing for fun. Joey and Jim rest in peace. ...
Advantages: Good balance between power and accuracy, large head size and durable. Disadvantages: Power is limited when compared with other racquets that have a smaller throat.
Advantages: GOOD RIDE Disadvantages: WEAKNESS IN STRAIGHT LINE
I HAVE FITTED THESE TYRES TO MY RENAULT MEGANE 6 MONTHS AGO. ORIGINALLY THEY WERE MICHELINS AND THEY LASTED 35,000MILES FOR THE FRONT AND 50,000MILES FOR THE REAR. I DRIVE OVER 1,000MILES A WEEK ON OVER 80% ON MOTORWAY. I FIND THESE DUNLOP TYRES WEARS SLIGHTLY QICKER THAN THE ORIGINAL MICHELINS. I HAVE COVERED 28,000 MILES SO FAR AND THE FRONT ARE ON THE LIMIT. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT SET WITHIN THE NEXT 1,000 MILES.
I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT FROM THE DAY ONE THAT ON THE FAST DRIVING THESE SETS OF TYRES ARE NOT VERY GOOD IN STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT LIKE TO DRIVE STABLE STRAIGHT LINE THEREFORE IT MAKES DRIVING A LITTLE MORE TIRING. THE RIDE IS SLIGHTLY SOFTER THAN THE MICHELIN AS WELL.
OVERALL I DOUBT I WILL BUY ANOTHER SET OF THESE DUNLOP TYRES. ...
