Baby's got new shoes!
At last some serious rubber for my track days! Going this week to Eastern Creek - expect a full report on DUNLOP Direzza 02G!
A quick drive up and down my favourite mountain pass last night was a revelation. There is just no comparison with even the best street tire like the PS2.
Every E55 driver should try this at least once and then say this car does not handle well - phenomenal grip, the harder you push the better it bites. Make sure you got ear plugs in..LOL

On another note, have you tried these against the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups?

I suppose that even though they are "all weather" they probably dont work well in the wet.
Looking forward to your feedback.
