Default Dunlop Direzza DZ101

I just bought these for my CE's and I haven't found that many +/- comments on them. What do you guys think?

it is a good tire for the buck...
however, if I do some moutain drive or some track time, I will suggest you to use the tire like AD07... DZ101 is not good enough... just my 2 cents..

I'm just using these as daily drivers and on occasion, a little fast cornering here and there.

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.

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.
