Let me introduce a new tire - Dunlop Direzza II

**Rudy@tirerack** · 10-24-12, 03:49 PM

An old friend the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec is being replaced by a newer tire which promises to have higher levels of dry grip Dunlop Direzza II. These are estimated to arrive in Feb 2013. We are currently taking pre orders for those looking to have the performance edge this spring. Below there is a picture to illustrate the tread pattern differences. We will being testing the new tire spring of 2013.

How much more are these new tires? It definitely looks grippier.

ririck · 10-24-12, 06:12 PM

Yeah, in for pricing. I'll need tires come spring I'm sure. If you'd rather PM, i'm in an '11 WRX so 235/45-17

***StripesRX*** · 10-24-12, 06:21 PM

Interesting. Are there going to be similar sizes to the Star Spec?

TSAutosports · 10-24-12, 06:38 PM

What are the prices for the common sizes for our Subarus?

The miata.net forum has a picture of the actual tire.

I really loved the ZI because of what you get for the price. I hope the same remains true with the ZII and the prices remain relatively similar.

How will these new tires hold heat. The last star specs could get greasy on track
