Dunlop Fm901's are some really really good treaded tyres, the next sort of option up would be road legal semi slicks
|
I would disagree quite strongly on that point.
Eagle GSD3's, and plenty of other tyres would provide much more grip !!
|
I dunno how you'd quantify it, but I'd be skeptical about that last statement. FM901's get kick ass marks in every tyre test I've read for their performance, but get butt-raped when it comes to longevity 
|
In Wheels May 2005 issue, they did a tyre test, and out of 500 points, the following 235/45x17 tyres scored the following results (RRP in brackets) ;
#1 - Goodyear Revspec RS-02 - 496.0 ($298ea)
#2 - Michelin Pilot Preceda - 494.7 ($290 ea)
#3 - Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 - 493.5 ($198)
#4 - Bridgestone Potenza S-03 - 492.8 ($355)
#5 - Toyo Proxes T1R - 487.8 ($312)
#6 - Yoko AVS Sport V-102A - 484.4 ($359)
#7 - BFG G-Force Sport - 479.5 ($201)
#8 - Dunlop Direzza DZ 101 - 474.3 ($288)
#9 - Kuhmo Ecsta KU19 - 471.5 ($235)
Since the FM901 is replaced by the Direzza and that the FM901 is an old design, I would say that it gets its ass kicked !!!
