Default Dunlop or Kuhmo

Need some new tires. Something for street use. Does not need super good wet traction. Don't want all season. Do want good grip w/o breaking the wallet.


Came down to:

Kuhmo MX or Dunlop Direzza DZ101



What would you choose and why?

Yokohama AVID V4s there not all baller and shit, but still grip in dry and wet conditons. great tread life as well.

I'd say go for the Dunlop's so you could tell the rest of us how it performs. h:

I'd probably go for the Kumhos...I haven't heard anything about the dunlops though. I just got some FM901's today, eager to try them out.

Already had the MX's once...I liked them. The Direzzas have a great price and seem like they would perform well. JGTC uses Direzzas, but Im sure they arent the same model.

Im lookin at 205/50/15 sizing for my NS2's h:

I've always felt that Dunlops never performed at their price level.
