Default Um... while you are having fun mocking me...

Your reading comprehension sucks. The DZ-101 and Direzza Sport Z1 are two totally different tires.

Default Linky to wrong tire... you can't fix it because they don't sell the Direzza Sport Z1

Read more carefully next time round. Fvcking noobs.

Default I was commenting on the tire he found, not on your tire Phil.

I take it you already looked on the Tire Rack and found no reviews, as thats what I just did.

You could try asking the Motorsports forum, thats what I did when I made the move on my Hankook Z211s. Didn't bother asking the Wheel/Tire forum.

Default No, mocking you have not crossed my mind at all. Sorry you feel this way. But yes, it's a wrong tire

for which I apologize.

Default I've already emailed Gary... he has no info.

These are new... as in just now available this week here in the states... so I wasn't really expecting anybody to know about them.

Seems that the Japanese have been using them for at least a year now.
