I went into the dealers to drool over my new car this morning. I have got red calipers unfortunately but I also noticed I have tyres that I've not seen on a Skoda before, Dunlop SP Sport Maxx -

Anyone got any experience of these?

They are round and black, kind of rubbery

:orb_wise_

i like dunlop sp's. they are quite a hard compound and grip very well too.

i normally use sp2020's though because they give little less road noise.

iirc Dunlop don't do it in the FabiaVRS size otherwise i would of got some , i think i read in EVO or some other car mag that they rated them quite well on one of their long term test cars , not sure which though

YES THEY DO!!

Probably changed to Dunlops after the original Continental Sport Contact 2's that Skoda fitted to the 18's turned out to be a bit crappy!.

Do you a swap your reds for my greens .Must say the conti's are wearing pretty fast but the grip is very good.

Conti's wearing already!! You should slow down Chris.

They had two cars there today that both had 17" wheels on, glad I got the 18's!!
