Dunlop Direzza DZ101
I just got the dunlop direzza dz101 for the rears of my 04 S on stock rims using 255/40/17 and using the OEM Bridgestone s0-2 in the fronts. These tires stick pretty well around turns, but it feels kinda sloppy at speeds above 70. When I make a quick lane change at a high speed, i have to adjust for this wavy feeling that you'd expect in a sedan. I had the psi at 37 all around then increased the direzzas to 42 thinking the sidewalls needed some support.. I still get this strange aftereffect when making a quick turns at high speeds. Perhaps i should have stuck with the oem tire size for the rears... whatever the case, get a tire with stiffer side walls.

these tires are scary in the rain

while they are great because they are soooo damn cheap. they really shouldnt be used for spirited driving, you will soon find out!
Mine have been great on 18 inch fitment. I autocrossed on them and no problems. I have not experienced any issues with agressive driving or rain....have those posters actually purchased DZ101s?
To the poster that had the pressures at 37 and 42.....yikes! Way too high.... I shaved 1.5 seconds off my time by reducing pressure to about 30-31psi...from 34. Sidewalls were plenty stiff. I was getting barely any roll over at 34psi.
Overall a great tire, especially for the coin.
