Reports are now coming in on the performance of the new DUNLOP tyre; Direzza Sport Z1 'Star Spec'.

Ray Monic fitted 195/50R15 Z1's to his MX5 (shown at left) recently and has just reported:

"I was out at Phillip Island on Sunday last week and had a chance to try the new Dunlop DZZ1'S in both wet and dry conditions.

In the wet I was highly impressed with the traction of the tyre. Even with really wet conditions the confidence it gave me was fantastic due to it's stability and balance. I managed to post some quick times, so much so I had some of the MX5 boys coming over to see what I was running on.

In the dry I managed a personal best time, the tyres came on progressively as I pushed  harder and the exit of corner grip was very good and because of this it took away the understeer that I was previously experiencing. Under braking these tyres are very responsive. Also the tyres  wear like a racing tyre so much so they even picked up rubber from the track and showed no signs of feathering on the tread of the tyre, normally a big problem with road tyres on the track".
