Dunlop sport mx rt
245 40 18
Lasted 12,500. The last 6000 or so where not particularly plesent regarding stability, still plenty of useable tread in the middle but the edges where shot, which would explNe the sometimes violent darting off line on the brakes, so I'd say, unacceptable towards the end of their life. Very good grip level though. Quieter than sc3.
So these RT's....
On grounds of stability. Recommended or not?
Personally, I'd say somewhere between no, to undecided.
They where along the lines of Falkens at the start of their life. Especially comparing them to the previous TT's. Immediately noticeably less stable, and also less so than my old sc3 mo, picking up on road imperfections and darting about a bit on uneven surfaces.
Not as bad as Falkens from new but getting that way. Obviously if that instability is there from new, then it can only get worse with wear. And they did get worse. After pondering for some time, given the violent darting off line under emergency braking and sometimes just normal braking..... Would I recommend these to another member with an omega? On 18's.... No I don't think I would tbh.
Not without a serious advisory anyway.
Good grip level. Quiet. But I think if I had these on the rear as well, it would be Falken territory. Maybe not as bad as I had with the 912's but I wouldn't want another member to suffer these tbh.
With spirited driving, on grounds of safety due to instability they really should be binned by half their life tbh. If Mrs Gixer drove the car and had to emergency brake on an uneven surface, I don't think she'd have the strength to keep it on line.
