Dunlop Tires

I am using Yokomama 205-60-14 but the size has been deleted. My tire expert is recommending Dunlop W10s as a replacement for the A 509s. Has anyone used them?

I liked SP8000s, the W10s are a replacement but not as sticky. Still good tires tho. The A509s were some sticky tires for sure. I think you'd be fine with W10s or sp8ks if they have them.

I have W-10s and they are great tires, wet or dry.
Also they don't squeal at all which is good IMO

I couldn't get the SP8000's to hook at the track for the life of me...

All of my experience with Dunlops can be summarized as STAY AWAY.

YMMV.

Yokohama AVS ES100's are available in that size (or will be very shortly). I've owned the tires it's replacing and was very pleased (A520 and AVS Intermediate). I'm looking forward to trying a set.
