Ex-Finesse Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 There was a pic in Redline about 18months ago of a new set of Dunlops at a European show. I saw the above picture last night, and they look extremely similiar to them. If anyone knows any more details, I promise them a free track ride in the car next year, or a Spacky Ds or Burger Queen if they would prefer... I will try and get a pic of the ones in the mag tonight!!
ANDYC Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 isnt 1 of them in redline putting some on his scooby think it was last month or month before or it could be fast car was lookin at it at work last week
Ex-Finesse Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 Ooooh, do you mean their little feature of the WIP Jun (??) Scooby?? The one with the radiator in the boot?? Renton has just bought himself a '96 WRX, but he's put a new set of Toyos on it. Renton has a set of Dunlop D01s on his 4x4 3dr. I think he's recently changed to D02s.... but I haven't seen any firm pics of their thread pattern.

Its the Toyo proxes R888 ther semi slick track tires, but i have heard ther not so good in the wet! Link here mate Toyo R888 <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Cheers for that link mate. Knew they'd brought a model out, just wanted to get all the info on these Dunlops first because their not so hardcore track tyres have an awesome rep.! No, I'm not expecting them to have a good wear rate or any traction in the wet... not that I'll ever know lol Andy - which one mate... I mentionned 3 cars!!
Ex-Finesse Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 Ok mate, will have a look at it again tonight... It's a scooby with no front driveshafts... quality!
neil Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Looks like they are from Dunlop Japan from what i have seen. Try http://tyre.dunlop.co.jp/tyre/lineup/sport/ They are called Direzza 02G. net connection keeps cutting out but should help
Ex-Finesse Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Cheers mate. I found they're also available in Oz. The non-escort-friendly sizes which they are manufactured in is a right Fcuker I'm on the hunt for some 17s this winter to wrap with 215/45s!
Ex-Finesse Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Yup... When I get these, I'm gonna have to try the car in the damp....
