Dunlop Direzza DZ101

Pros:
-budget price for my tyre type 225/75r18
-soft riding

Cons:
-lack of grip, especially in wet. Tyres spin on start-up in wet very easily. and cannot feel any confidence in cornering
-fuel consumption. I can feel a bit higher fuel consumption than previous perfect hankook ventus v12 evo2
-tyre wear. faster than average I can feel.

I bought a 2006 Pontiac GTO SAP 6-speed that has these tires on it. I was surprised at the traction I got. The car would spin some, but catch quickly. When you have a very stout and modified car, you have to learn how to control your car with Street tires on, mine is no different. These tires handle the power and drive great. As with any tire there is some road noise but not intrusive and the tires handle bumps with some firmness. Handling is predictable and ride is comfortable and firm.
I look forward to buying another set and will do so soon!

These tyres I 100% would not recomend.
Ever since I got them on 6 months ago the car has been a nightmare to drive.
-sliding outwards on round abouts and tight turns
-wanting to pull me off the road on any patch of uneven grading
-feels like I’m driving on tram tracks
-worse in the dry than in the wet
I’ve always gone for performance tyres but due to money restraints and on the recommendation of the manufacture I put on these nonsense tyres.
6 months and 30000kms later I am rid of the things and will never go back to Dunlop for tyres.

I guess you get what you pay for.
I didn’t know much about tyres when I bought these and purchased because of the tread pattern. Also they were cheap. They were ok at first but after 6months to a year of use I had to learn to accelerate at light gently because the tyres wouldn’t grip and completely spin out on dry road when the tyres were warm. I wouldn’t dare test these tyres to the limit!
So in trying to save money I ended up replacing them after 12months

These are the worst tyres ive ever driven on, I drive a BMW 540 touring and the car just wants to swap ends even at low speeds on roundabouts etc, the traction control has never worked so hard, turn the traction control off and it just wheel spins everywhere in the slightest of damp conditions, its like driving on ice, ive done 1,000 miles hoping they would get better but no. Dunlop is supposed to be a well regarded brand name, in my opinion these should not be allowed to be sold to people who use their cars on the road

These are the DZ 102s not the DZ101s, I think these are the latest version. Like the tread pattern as it is similar to Bridgestone Potenzas. Shape looks better too as it makes rims protude more outside of tyre giving a slick look without the bulge. Just put a set of 4 x 245 40 R19s on an SS-V Commodore. I was looking for a harder wearing tyre than the OE Bridgestone Potenzas because I couldn't handle the $500 to $600 price tag any more. What peeved me most about the Bridgestones is that any puncture usually required a complete tyre replacement ...

This is for DZ102s, but really are same tyres. Was unaware tyres of this standard could be sold in Australia. Still on sale so someone must have survived after installing them to their car! These are lethal! Trying to be serious here, but these were disgusting tyres - would not let my wife drive the car with these installed - it was so dangerous. Good to use on a drift car. Others here call these noisey - but from my experience of other, much more performance oriented tyres, I found these quiet even when grip had released completely (which was ...

Great tyres for the deaf.
Unfortunately all the good points of these tyres are let down by excessive road noise.
Excellent handling in wet & dry conditions, very surefooted & appear to wear well.
NOISE !
Noisiest tyres I've ever driven on. Except for some 4WD Tyres.
Had to turn the CD player way up to drown them out.
