Anyone running these on an AP1? I have AP2 wheels coming, and I'm a little afraid that if I go 225/255 I'll end up stuck in a 70's cop chase movie sliding sideways everywhere I go due to the heavily increased front end grip.

^^^ it wont be any different than stock ap2 handling but better!!! 225/255 is not going to make you oversteer!!! you have alot to learn about tires if you think thats gonna make you oversteer cause its the exact same ratio as stock ap2 just 10mm wider front and rear...

Ordered four on 5/21 size 245/40/17 from Discount Tire

Got a email on 5/22 saying they don't have a ETA on getting these in stock.

So I called yesterday to see if anything has changed and they say Dunlop doesn't even know when they will be instock.

Long story short, it's gonna be a very long wait for people to get them.

Good luck

I'm debating whether to switch to z1 star specs. Currently running Azenis 615's and will probably continue because they're so cheap. A full set of 225/255 installed with road hazard coverage only costs about $575 total.
I am wondering if i should swap from my 225 / 255 615's aswell..

The price between the 615 and z1 star spec is so little.
