Someone on Rennlist forwarded me a German article comparing these Dunlops to the Pirelli P Zero Corsas, the Yokohama A048s, and the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on a Porsche GT3. The Dunlops were easy to drive, but the slowest of the group around the track. Still, if they made them in my sizes, I'd find it hard to resist picking up a set at those prices.

Unfortunately, I left the article in my Junk Mail folder for too long, and it got auto-deleted.

A 255 rear would be better for CE28Ns (assuming we're talking 17" here.)

For dry use, they say shaved is the way to go, so chunking under those conditions hopefully wouldn't be an issue.

Sounds like it could be a great summer only tire for the '04 cars...

Any word on how long those prices are going to stick around.
