Question Which Tires Came On Your GT3

For those that have taken delivery, curious how many got Dunlop vs Michelin?

My car came with the Dunlops. Car was delivered New Years Eve. Have been driving a lot in the rain and I am pretty impressed with the wet weather grip they provide so far.

Was at Sebring this weekend with the Dunlops and was disappointed with the greasiness and wear. Temps were only in the 60's. Would not want to run these on a hot track surface.

I have Dunlops and I am impressed with the tire overall. I think they are superb in the wet too vs the Michelins Cup 2's from what I have heard...

I have Mich. but, since I do not track I would of preferred the Dunlops because I heard for DD they are a little better but the Mich are better for the track

From what I've been told, it's luck of the draw or unluck of the draw.

strange. i thought there would have been some specific reason like location or what ever.

would like to know which have the best ride quality. guess at this point not many people out there will have tried both on this car to be able offer an evaluation.

i have michelins, but would change to the dunlops if they have a better ride.

I was pleased to see the cups on my 3 when i picked her up, sure the flops are good but it would have been a minor disappointment to me
