kuhmo 712 vs dunlop fm901...

for the rear that is... as far as treadwear, heat resistence, and gripwise while drifting... any info on them?

[skittles]

try 2 research it online bro....im sure some company that is selling them has all that info

I have FM 901 since last hialeah event. I like it, except on wet surface. Compound is very good and last long. FM901 can't beat neova. but neova will be $$$. I give fm901 7-8 out of 10 points. I will compare FM901 and azenis next time i come back tampa.

kumho 711 !!!!!

[Mars_302]

ES 100s!

[Matt Vassallo]

for drifting, the kumho 711 is like.

i used it on sunday.
and it rocked me so hard and was so cheap it wasnt even funny

[Jonas]

yeah i am not sure if i will continue running azenis upfront anymore for grip, i am thinking of going toyo t1s...

as for the rear iam still just searching for a good tire that is predictable, costs average and is quality for what it is..

and so far its a tie between the kuhmo and dunlops

[paul kersey]

jonas, buy my two kumho, and find out !

[paul kersey]

i had a set of kumho 711's on my se-r, and they did smoke alot, and would break loose pretty easily.

T1S's suck for grip, stay with Azenis or the 2 tires you said, but for the front. for you for the rear i would try a set of T1S's or falken ZEIX 512's, or the kumho 711. i have 712's on the front of my car and i love them, especially in the rain!! if you learn the right tire set up you won't have to fight your car as much. unless you have over 300hp then you don't need that stickey a tire inthe back. i say keep the treadwear over 320 or soo, mine always is 440 or higher on my car, but i don't have anypower. the one's on my car now have a treadwear rating of 580!! and i love them.

[Jonas]

awesome guys this helped alot i was able to figure a few things out hehe <3

[Jonas]

hrmmm after a little trial i iam not really sure i like the 712's up front for grip... i think i might try the es100's for front grip... and continue using fate O's and 712's in the rear...

[buck19]

Fate-O for life. hahaha. ive never used them but have seen you use the same set for the longest time...

[Jonas]

i did a couple of reviews on es100 up fronts... anyone have any first hand experience with them as grip tires?

[Chin]

I know matt and regina <3 them, but im a dunlop fan what can I say. I also really enjoy the St115's all around.

[Jonas]

heh btw where can i get some st115

[JR]

I've used Kuhmo's 711's all around as my prevoius setup. They're OK. Now I'm running Dunlop 9000's up front and Continental Contisport Z-rated in the rear (same ones used on the Porsche 911's). I like the grip control in the rear but the Dunlops I've already worn down (about 3/10-4/10 tread left).

[Jonas]

how about the new dz101? after research i found that

kuhmo 712 treadwear 320
yoko es100 treadwear 260
dunlop fm901 treadwear 200-300
dunlop dz101 treadwear 200-300

are all in the low $60 range... in the 15inch rim size..

anyone wanna give some info on the dz101?

[Matt Vassallo]

711

[Chin]

FM901 is 200 tred wear rating.
Ask everyone in japan about the DZ101 lol.
