Pulled the trigger on new street/canyon tires, Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 in 225/45/17. I seem to go through tires every 5-6k miles, so when these went on sale I couldn’t say no. Surprisingly stiff sidewalls (actually induce some rattles in the cabin) and turn-in is noticeably sharper than the base Primacy tires. Actually more comparable to my track tires (gtradial sx2) in terms of stiffness. The reviews didn’t mention them being stiff so I’m guessing it’s because I bought an XL-load size (94Y). Haven’t had a chance to push these tires hard, but based on reviews the grip should be a step up from the Primacys, but not quite PS4 or sx2 level.

These tires seem to run true to size and clear a double camber bolt stock suspension front setup on 17x8 +42 with about 3-4mm to spare.
