Are Dunlop Sportmaxx GT any good?

Post by MikeFish » Mon Jan 14, 2013 1:56 am

I'm looking at getting a new set of wheels and they only come with Dunlop Sportmaxx GT tyres.
I've never used these before so was wondering if any of you guys have used them before?

If they're no good I'll just sell them and buy a set of F1s.

Grip is very good. Road noise is very bad.
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

Cool, thanks!

Road noise? It'd have to be pretty spectacular to be heard in my car over the exhaust and stereo. I have to shout just to speak to the passenger even with the stereo off.
