Dunlop direzza z101

montegoblue335iguy · 12-21-2011, 10:59 PM

I installed two 255 35 18 on the rear.The tires grip very good.But the wierd than is that as 80mph+as the car floats down the road dips on the highway the car feels like it want to fly off the road.May be not that bad.Any little small movement the wheel car feels a little less stable. I am using run flats in the front.When the tires were installed pressure was set to 36PSI Max is 51PSI. Any thoughts please. Do I need to stay with runflats? I just dont like the tread life not to mention $370 each.

Mixing non-runflats with runflats or tires with different tread pattern is not the best solution.
Get the same tires on both axles.

I like my DZ101s. I run 225/40 on 18x9.5" and 265/35 on 18x11" and have no complaints.
Get 2 more for the front. Mis-matching RFTs and non-RFTs doesn't sound smart.

It's not ideal mixing and matching tires like that. Handling characteristics can be a bit unpredictable.
