Pros:
Quieter than many performance tires, excellent cornering traction, big lip to prevent rim damage
Cons:
Purchased as part of a package with rims, so price may vary greatly.
Excellent tires!
Sticky, great cornering traction, good all around sport tires.
The flange protects the rims very well when bumping the curb.
Quieter than many performance tires, yet still has great performance.
I have 225/45R17s on my lowered WRX Sedan.

I love Dunlops. They always give good performance at a decent price. Good wet and dry grip. Would buy again.

Pros:
Price, grip, design
Cons:
Weak sidewalls, road noise
Used them on two of my Subaru\'s. Initially really liked them, but after blowing up sidewalls twice on small potholes, not really happy. Overall, they are decent for the price, but I am glad they are replacing them with Direzza\'s.

Pros:
price
Cons:
very very loud. loud when driving and extremely loud when braking.
these tires did not grip very well. ive driven on pilot sports, s03s, re92s, so i know what good and bad traction is. these dunlop didnt impress me with traction and they were too noisy. the road noise was insane. from this experience, i will never buy a dunlop brand tire, ever! (ive also ridden in a ford focus with the same tires except in 215/45/16 ratio, the road noise was just the same... LOUD)
