The Z1's don't understeer as much as the RE-01Rs. The Bridgestones tend to push more than Neovas also.
The tire seems responsive and firm. I took some at the limit corners and there was very little roll over. At first I thought the pressures were too high, but they were 34-32psi. Didn't even rub the outer block nubs off. Could be a durable track tire that won't chunk the outside edges. With the heavy mold release it's too early to say how much grip they have.

I've heard that Dunlop tires have historically had "cupping" problems. This tire is supposedly built by sumitomo for dunlop. I'm dying here because I have to buy tires in the next month. I'm between the re-01r and the z1....any info on the wear or issues on the z1 would be greatly appreciaited.
Thanks

You have an issue with picking between those two?
Open you wallet and ask it....
I would do the Z1 just to see how it is. Hell of a lot cheaper. I mean if the grip was less by 5% its worth it. It has to be a great tire and comparable to stock and the RT-615's.. A lot of folks on here said get the RT615's when I needed new tires and they are great. I am going to try the z1's next just because.

I can't tell about ultimate grip until we get them under timed runs, probably early next month.
