That was my hope just wondered if Dunlops are tramliners traditionally or not?

I started a Thread about Tyre Wear in One Tyre Only - this relates to Dunlop SportMaxx TTs. The RTs are the latest version thereof.

I seem to have one rogue tyre that has worn disproportionately and is under investigation. The other TT tyres  fitted at same time are fine and geometry of car and suspension bits all in order. Will be interesting to see what supplier concludes on this.

Was just reading that but didn't want to hijack another members thread

If you say the others are fine I will probably go for them unless anyone else can recommend the best possible tyre for the Omo?????

I drive fast on straights but take no chances on corners so I might not be your best guide on these.

RT is quite a new tyre, seems to be replacement for the TT. Probably too new for anyone to comment.

I can comment on TT - very good, excellent grip in wet or dry, and usable in snow. Very stable as well. Can't get more than 10k from them though.

TB is hard on tyres though, so expect to get more than 10k, surely..?

Tt and the slightly more durable sport max are exceptionally planted and stable tyres ime.

Absolutely not tram liners. Quite the opposite on fact. :y

Bit noisy though, which might be the trade off.
