Well, bit the bullet and Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s fitted today all round, only had a couple hours or so driving today with them but holy ****...absolutely immediate difference in traction, performance and feedback and noise reduction . once warm, superb feel to surface and they dig right the hell into the road and the car just wants to rip through corners, or roundabouts in this case, and what's best, seemingly no instances of wheel hop
They get up to volume at about 40mph then don't seem to get any louder after than which is great (just wind noise at 8/9/10 speeds as "normal" for leons) and they are quieter than the T001s noticably. They don't squeel when under full lock parking/turning any more either which is great and there seems to be an even greater level of feedback than before on this, not that warm, but dry day.
Day 1 is day 1 though, lets see how they are after 100 days and then 200 , but from first impressions I am thoroughly impressed, big grins, makes me even more confident in the already superb handling and grip from the car to get my remap in the future .
Just need some rainy days now to test that but so far, wheel hop eliminated, only a bit of spin when "cool" and beyond that just the TC nudging me a little on course, but so far under almost full throttle 1st gear, very little interference from the TC which was also rather impressive.
TL;DR...GOOD TYRES!
