Official Tire Review: Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec (195/55/R15)

[jim@tirerack]

If they are wearing unevenly you need to check the alignment. There is no reason why they would be wearing unevenly with 400 miles on them. You can have some uneven wear on the front shoulders of the tires if you are pushing the car and having it understeer all the time.

Hey jim, do you have any deals on this tire(195/55/15) or a similar tire in 205/50/15?

I've got close to 5k miles on them, and they're wearing pretty well. Not even 25% gone yet.

I autocross on them, so they look like a burn victim right now, but that's just my abuse. The first 2000 miles wore nice and even, and they're starting to soothe out again.

These tires are kind noisy, I thought they would quiet after a bit, but they're still a little louder than normal street tires. They do make a cool noise when stopping though.

If anyone has any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer them. Hopefully I'll get some serious miles on them before I take them off for winter.

dewthedew,

Is there anything specific you are looking for out of the tire? Higher performance, longer wear, better ride quality. Let me know and I can look at some options.
