Might go Sport maxx TT next on the front. Defo less miles, but more grip to balance the rear. ;)


Are these the tyres that are made from teflon?........ :)

What? The same stuff my managers shirt is made of? Non stick? No Mr Opti. Quite the opposite. :)

Most of the customer reviews that I've read rate them as middling/average or so-so/fair.

They seem to have been around for along time and are therefore 'old technology'

However, I've not experienced them myself. In fact the last Dunlop tyre  I sampled was the legendary TT100. :) ;)

I actually mean RT. But the TT was better.

 Seeing as the sc5 is also worse than the sc3, and apparently the sc2 was better than the 3... Are we getting the picture?

Seems to me manufacturers are producing cheaper tyres and charging more for them under the guise of a new model.
Customers let them away with it out of ignorance/lack of desire/see no need for a tyre with a decent performance level, and would rather have the mileage. Nobody wants a performance tyre these days.

Arguably, sc3 isn't a performance tyre anyway in old money. But as all things are relative, it now is. Very disappointing. :(
