Default Dunlop tyres on my 2015 ?

Ok, I didn't see this first time I looked at this screen shot from my dealer,
but thanks to @skuplist he noticed it!
That's something new! Not Michelin PSC2s?
Maybe they are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTTs.
Same as 2015 Nissan GT-R?
Don't know much about it.
But I did find this:

Yes, there is a Dunlop fitment too. Supposedly no slower, just another option.

If true then you may be one of the first to get the Dunlops as OEM !!

Thanks! Never knew that. I'm not a big fan of the Dunlops but maybe they are better now.

My car is in production right now. I have to say, if it comes with the Dunlops, I'll be a bit disappointed. I've gotten the impression in the past that the Michelins are a bit better.

In any case, I'm sure the original tires will need to be replaced within a year or two.

That's what I thought too. Smookey just picked his up in Germany and
his has Michys. So, we will have to see when they start showing uo here at the end of the month.
I had Dunlops on my 964 and wasn't a big fan.
But that was 10 or more years ago. I don't know if they are any better now.
Everyone was raving about the MSCS2s. Now I may not get them.

I'm holding my breath now. However, a few launch controls, and the shelf life of the OEM's decreases significantly.

Maybe Dunlops are supplied to our UK brothers ??? that said, I use the winter sports 20" on my Cayenne GTS. They are a great tire.

I run 18" blizzacks on my GTS. It's a beast in the snow.
