Dunlop Direzza on 16 inch wheels

[ivan bogo]

Hi, is anyone running Dunlop direzzas on 16 inch wheels?

I am on Turinis ET40/7J and NS2R currently and it does rub a bit on hard cornering, so am worried direzzas might be worse.

Have you got a link to any one who sells them in 205/45/16 ?

205/50/16 : https://www.mrtyremotorsport.com/product/dunlop-dz03g-trackday-tyre/

There's also 225/45/16 but that's guaranteed to be rubbing I think.

Yeah might work on standard ride height on the road.

Is this track work or on road? If on track, I’d recommend swapping to 15s.

If on road, unless you live in a climate better than the UK’s, I wouldn’t run Direzza’s.

I had to drive back from a track day on them in the wet and I’ve never been so scared in my entire life. Hitting standing water on the motorway at 60 was “new pants” time.

Worst 4 hours of my life.

It's track use, and I do have a second set of wheels with rainsports on, so that part should be sorted.
