The Dunlop's were light years ahead of the Conti' RF's as far as ride and performance. The Dunlops are dam good ont he track to be honest and I ran mine 3 or 4 full days and then sold them for $400 and still had plenty left in them. The stiff side walls makes turn in far better than with Non-RFs. Since I track a lot in the PNW a good rain tire is mandatory. DW's out performed everything at the track on rainy MINI track day. Nothing else stuck as well and as predictable. Instructors were actually betting if I could get her slowed down or not for the hairpin after charging up the hill at 100MPH at the Ridge. I was worried a couple of lap too but they always found the required grip. I run the same size Nitto NT1's on dry track days. I need to actaully order another set ans these only have a couple more sessions in them. I have a place in AZ now and I would go strictly summer tires if I ran around down there year round.
