Review on Dunlop Direzza DZ102 205/45 R17 88W summer by Wiktor Jakuta ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I compare with Toyo DRB: acceleration is better, braking is better, taxiing is about the same. If Toyo turned with a sharp pressure on the gas, then such a number does not work with Dunlop. Hydroplaning resistance is the same. The sidewall on Dunlop, subjectively, is stronger, although there was not a single hernia on Toyo for 3 seasons. There is also an aesthetic nuance: Toyo sits beautifully on the disc, the sidewall is even with a slight blockage to the tread, while Dunlop sits slightly “donut”, not like Michelin or Kontik without a protective shoulder for the disc, but it is present. Also, the protective collar on Toyo is larger, which means it better protects the disc. It is important to note that the comparison is between a Thai-made Dunlop and a Japanese-made Toyo. Toyo not from Japan is inferior to them in quality.

Pros
  • Excellent directional stability, not afraid of aquaplaning within reasonable limits, acceleration, braking, sharp maneuvers do not cause any problems, I am always sure of traction. Sturdy sidewall. The price is slightly higher than the triangle 968. Adequate weight (about 9 kg) for the size 205/55 R16 and a rigid sidewall.
Cons
  • The tires are quite noisy, especially on the road with a rut and on the old asphalt. But freshly laid - almost silence.
