I have a 197 and i bought it secong hand from a Renault dealership.
The previous tyres were pretty worn out so the day i first saw it they were fitting it a set of Dunlops SP SPORT MAXX TT.
These tyres feel great in both dry and wet conditions. But when they are cold, and with asr off, the car feels like on ice. Not that understeery, but really lift-off oversteery...
I happen to live on a mountain so when i leave home, the first route i take is always a twisty b-road , and i always have cold tyres there. I never noticed that before ,not until i was in a playfull mood and turned the ASR off.
So, a few questions:
Do the Contis take a long time to warm up and how do they behave cold?
Has anyone fitted the same Dunlops and if yes , how do you feel about them on this matter?
What's your general opinion of these Dunlops? ( even if you have driven them in another car )
Thanks in advance.
