New Dunlop D1 Direzza Star Specs

Purchased new tires through tire rack and received them in 2 days! Got the best tires as some Evo owners will state....







Man, they are some meaty looking tires.

As you know Im sitting on Megan coilovers... Im just waiting for the wheels to arrive. With the offset of the wheel and size of the coilovers, I should have no problem fitting these tires

Thanks... wow that's a low offset. I assume your wheels are very close to the fender lining. Consider fender rolling?

Just a word of warning, those are strictly summer/track tires, with winter coming I would be hesitant to put them on right now.

+1. I love my 265/35/18 Star Specs. The BEST tire I've EVER owned.



They state, however, that keeping these tires outside below freezing damages the compound that makes them so grippy.

Store them away for winter.

Word of advice for winter tires. If you actually get real amounts of accumulating snow, slush or ice.....running the stock Dunlops is just a death sentence! Ask any other GTS owner about it. I feared for my life with them on my GTS....it was only minimal slush. I know you dont want to buy new tires for winter too....but money for tires is worth it so you dont die.

I ran my Pirelli Sotozero 240s last winter and they were awesome. Just put them back on Monday . I ran them at the same specs as the stocks on my stock 18 GTS rims.

Winter tires are definitely needed for the GTS

I just got a set of Dunlop wintersport 3Ds that I'm putting on this weekend. I hope they perform well in the snow like the reviews say.

I also want to get a set of these dunlop direzzas everyone is talking about. I hear they're the best tire for the street for the money. coming next summer with a new set of rims! w00t!

I love the tread pattern, they look so aggressive. I wish they could serve as an all season tire. Does anyone know the widest tire we can put on these lancers?
