Installed a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires yesterday and it's nice to have tread again. :-)

Default Installed a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires yesterday and it's nice to have tread again. :-)

The tires fill up the wheel wells so much nicer than the Michelins but I think they are softer in the side wall giving me an extremely smooth and quiet ride. They also have a kick butt rim protector that actually sticks out past the rim unlike some others that barely come past the rim lip. The wet traction is excellent out of the box.... I pushed them today in moderate rain and they were flawless. I know they will get only better in the next 1000 miles.

The only reason I have these tires is they were take offs from a somewhat local Audi dealer from an S5 plus they were a steal. Thanks AoC

BTW the OEM Michelins gave me 21K miles of flawlwss performance. No rotations and no rebalancing from factory.

Default Update #1 - I've put a few hundred miles on the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires

My 1st impressions are that they feel very soft compared to the Michelin PS2's.

They also absorb road bumps extremely well and are very quiet.
