hmm....well after an afternoon of keeping BT's share price up, I've found there really is NOWEHERE that stocks D-01J's in 235/40/18


However, the DZ02G DOES look to be as good a tyre and Dunlop wouldn;t have released a replacement to the D-01J without it offering some performance increase, surely!

So...anyway, I called Mr Tyre and they told me the DZ02G come in 2 compounds now:

- H1 - A harder compound
- R1 - A slightly softer compund.

Mr Tyre recommend the R1 (softer) for trackdays. However, one of the characteristics I adored of the D-01 was it's longevity on the track...I don't recall it ever overheating, unlike the R888.

So....any ideas chaps?

 

Would suggest you to go for the harder compound, uless these are for a psecific track day weekend only.... If I had a choice I would prefer the Advan Yokohama A048 which is avaiable in this size....and much better

 

Hmmmm yes...I am more inclined to take this route although it does take me at least 3 laps to pull back the gap my mate eeks out from me in his R888'd scooby at the beginning of every session
