Can anyone give me there updated thoughts on these tires? I searched but only review I saw was a year old. Do they hold up well? How much tire noise is there? And how do they handle in the rain? Any info. would be great.

Thanks

 

my boy had them on his z good tire but didnt hold up long

 

I have a set on the car now. They came with the car when I bought it. I have put about 5k miles on the car and they are doing fine. They are typically fine in dry weather but water on the ground is a little stressful. My Falkens even on a much wider rim has far better traction.

 

do u have the falken 452's?????

 

Quiet, sticky, good wet traction, long wear.

 

There ok tires but micheline makes the best tires hands down. Get some michelin ps2's..

 

I had them for a while. Decent tires for pretty cheap.

 

good tire especially for the price. wet traction is good and there is some road noise.

 

Plus one on the PS'2s they are fantastic.

 

decent tire. made by goodyear by the way.

 

I asume you're talking about the Direzza DZ101 and not the new Direzza Z1 Sport. I've owned a couple sets of DZ101's. I use them mostly for drift events, but I've used them for autocross and street as well. I would say that on a scale from one to ten, their performance is five, average. Their worst feature is their soft sidewalls and their best feature is the low price. Currently, I use 235/45 in the front and 245/45 in the rear mounted on 17x8.5 wheels. When I had these tires mounted to the stock 17's, the sidewall flex was horrible. Stretching them out on the 8.5 inch wide wheels made quite a difference.

If you are looking for a budget street tire to get from point A to B and occasionally blast through the gears or if you are a drifter looking for a cheap tire with average performance, than this is the tire for you.
