mark, are you going for look ?? becaus I dont think you;ll be able to drift with that grip of a tire.

 

the sidewalls are pretty stiff, but Dunlop designed these tires to be their newD1 competition drift tire. Since drifting was the intent for these tires and drifters are known for stretching their tires out I am going to take an educated guess and say yes they will be able to stretch.


As for actually being able to buy these tires check out their website and send them an e-mail. They can tell you their nearest distributor.


Once again, I am already a HUGE fan of these tires! I was a die hard Falken Azenis enthusiest until I got a set of these put on my car! By far one of the best quality tires I have run to date! Very predictable, and they don't get greasy very fast!

What are you driving ? how much drifting have you done with them? I woudl like to seee them tested on an FR car.

 

matt: I wouldnt get such an expensive tire just for looks. It's just I don't think I could fit anything wider than a 195 under my fenders.

 

man these are to compete with the st 115? looks like they even ripped off the tread pattern!

i want to try em out... too bad i wont be able to afford them for a while. must be nice to buy tires brand new, just for sliding

 

Well, I called TIRERACK to get a release date on the new Dunlop Direzza's, and the rep had never even heard of them. Oh well....guess I will have to get some other brand tire.

Just do what I said originally, contact Dunlop and have them find a local dealer for you. They are pretty good about getting back with you.

As for what I drive...read the review I did on them, it will tell you everything you wanted to know.

On a side note, I have had the tires on now for approx a month and have gone out and driven the HELL our of them (slide, and grip) and they just dont quit. I don't get paid to tell you about the Driezzas, I giving you a truly honest opinion on these. I have gone through 4 sets of the Azenis ST-115's and I use to love em dearly until I switched to these. I was highly sceptical at first, but I figured that Goodyear (Dunlop's owner) would not put out a crappy tire with the kind of budget they have (especially since they tested them for a year in Japan before bringing them here). They were totally designed for 1 thing... D1

Dude Goodyear's Ducaro Revspec Destroys the direzza.

 

Oh no kidding... I haven't tried them yet. Have you tried the Direzza yet?

 

No, get them to send us some to Review during DDAY 4 !
