I'll go back to a proper lapping tire after they wear down.


I am still on the Dunlop Z3 and I am pretty happy with it. They don't wear nearly as well as my Hankooks did but they are much grippier. They don't seem to drop off too hard when they get hot and I can get consistent laps through a whole session. My next step is likely going to be the NT01
