Dunlop direzza dz101
Who out there runs these tires? Ive been reading reviews and haven't had to much positive feedback.. I just bought a set of rims and it has two of these tires on them that are fairly brand new..
So buying two new ones instead of all four would be the logical thing to do right? Just wondering what everybody has to say about these that run them or that have, because I dont want to spend the money on two new ones and then not like them but instead buy four new ones I like.

They are ok, are you looking for a street tire, or a autox tire? For the price, they make a good dd tire. When the tread was new they were excellent in rain/ standing water. I autoxed them before and they were ok for that as well. Overall I rate them 5/10, just average, would I buy them again- no. thats my .02 htl.

How about spending money wiser?
DZ101s are a general dd tire. Z1* are the top of the line for Dunlop.

StarSpecs
I knew this was bad but thought that if I put the worn tires in either the front or rear that this wouldn't matter.. I thought it was only side to side that could not be done like that

I currently have a set of Goodyear Eagle Gt's and I love them for what I've put them through, which is every type of weather and they held up really well. I would like to get them again condsidering they've lasted me almost 25k miles and still have some tread but I ran over a piece of scrap metal and need to get new ones.. my only reason for even looking at the dunlops is that there are two new ones on the WedsSports I bought

Make sure that the tires are within 4/32nds of an inch of each other for tread depth to be sure that there is no problem with the AWD system. Since most street tires start with 10/32nds of an inch of tread depth (some winter tires start deeper), your existing tires should be at least 6/32nds or deeper. If they are not that deep, you would want to consider shaving the new tires or replacing all four.
also in the same thread Many manufacturers recommend no more than 4-6/32nds difference between the tires on AWD vehicles.
true?
so, what is it? seems like some misleading information. been reading up on this matter, what about our spare tire? rather just get it towed then yes?
also read somewhere that its more affected by electronics sending power, im assuming acd? so its sort of ok for non acd evo's since its mechanical? drivetrain still works hard but not as hard as evo's with acd?

i'm just trying to understand, it would suck to replace all 4 tires if 1 blew...
back on topic, dunlop dz101 isnt very good. i've driven and raced on the star specs and they are REALLY good. not great in cold weather, they are not predictable. if your just using it for DD, then the dz101 is sufficient. also you should look into the continental DW, import tuner did a shootout on those and had great results.
