APT 179 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Have been offered a cheap set of Dunlop DZ 03G semi slicks, Just wanted any advise on whether they would be anygood for a road car ? Or should i just stick to normal tyres and not semi's ? Also if anyone could help me out i am concerned at things like tyre wear, wet condition performance etc. Cheers for any info Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Not to rain on your parade but i wouldn't bother with them unless you plan on hitting the track for a blast. If you run them on a road car that gets driven regularly you wont see much benefit, (unless you like hitting the twisties on a sunday) Id stick with some decent road tyre's.. I guess it all depends on how cheap though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APT 179 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Can get them for $450 for a set that is slightly used off a mate that has them in his garage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 I did 5000 Road km's on medium compound Hankook semi's and the tread depth hardly moved from new. they gripped a lot better in the wet than he Chinese tires they replaced, they warmed up well and made the lack of an LSD less of an issue. I have no experience on any other brand but they were cheaper with 10x the grip of the road tires I had so I give them thumbs up especially at the price you can get them for.

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 i have toyo r888s on my race car, i have done 5 events on them and they only just started scrubbing in. I have been told you can do around 10k on the roads in them before they wear out, i drive mine to and from track on the road and they stick very nicely. not that i really hoon around in them but you still get the feel of them sticking.
