In Reply to: Dunlops and wet weather handling ... posted by Andrew W on September 10, 2000 at 22:04:29:

On the Midwest Roadsters Memorial Day weekend Lake Shore Drive, several of us were comparing notes on this exact subject.

Three days of drizzle and rain. Cars with Michelin Pilots had little problem with wet conditions...several of the Dunlop cars complained a bit of slippery roads.

Car I was driving that weekend (2.3) had the Michelins, and it was completely stable on the wet roads. Car I am driving now has the Dunlops, and slides all over the place...but it is a lot more powerful, and wheel spin contributes greatly to that problem.

However, at first opportunity will be pulling off the Dunlops, and getting something better for wet roadhandling.

Just personal observation and recap of conversations at the time. Hope it helps a little.
