I’ve gotten word about these a while ago and have been waiting on the release. The Dunlop Z1 Star Specs set the standards for a premium performance tire, but at an affordable cost. Now these will replace the ever-so popular Z1 Star Specs.
The Direzza ZII is Dunlop’s Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for serious sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts looking for race tire-like traction on the street or for use in autocross, drifting and track events. Designed for drivers who want Dunlop’s highest level of traction and handling in warm and dry conditions, Direzza ZII tires are not intended to be driven through snow, on ice or in near-freezing temperatures.
Direzza ZII’s high-grip tread compound is molded into a directional design with a continuous center rib flanked by massive shoulders that form a highly rigid tread that delivers high levels of dry grip and handling while promoting uniform tire temperatures and even wear across the tread. Two wide circumferential center grooves channel water through the center of the tread design while angled independent grooves help direct water to the sides of the footprint to enhance wet traction.
The Direzza ZII features Dunlop’s True Circle Profile that distributes tire deflection forces along the sidewall to provide more control by better communicating tire performance limits to the driver. Its internal structure includes JointLess Band (JLB) Technology that spirally winds polyamide cord over the two wide steel belts to promote strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed capability. Two-ply polyester sidewalls help resist lateral deflection to provide responsive handling and cornering stability.
I’d be willing to do a group buy on these if the interest is there. If we can get at least 10 people on these, I’ll work out a fantastic price. I will set the deadline to February 1, 2013 since prices can change with a new released tire.
For the GB pricing, 15-16" will be $30/set cheaper than my regular lowww pricing, and 17-18" will be $40/set cheaper.
