^^^^
All this is something of a surprise to me because, so far, I'm not experiencing any of the problems being described here.

Please post here any links to all these other discussions elsewhere about such problems. Then I can construct a more coherent and cohesive report to the appropriate people at Goodyear Dunlop and hopefully post some answers or advise what to do or who to contact.

Thanks  :happy2:

....You gotta be joking, Ian! The guy I was introduced to is head of a different GYD operation and I'm sure would not take kindly to being bombarded if I gave out his contact details.

I'll talk to him first (Thursday probably earliest) and then get referred to which dept to contact.

You misunderstand Robin. The point is that they contact Dunlop and advise them of their problem. I didn't necessarily mean for you to give out your contacts details but either way Dunlop should be contacted and brought up to speed.

If I were Dunlop I would be asking myself why discerning customers are not fitting Sport Max once the factory fitted tyres are gone.

....Agreed. Sorry for any misunderstanding - I read it wrong.

As GYD is such a big company, let me sort out who to contact there and then post here - I think it will get better results and be more helpful to all concerned.

I must admit the .:R has Dunlop Sport Max on and the first thing that you notice is the tyre noise.
I say tyre noise but the Milltek and EVOMS have masked it to a certain degree.  :evilgrin:

....I wonder if this is why I also never hear any tyre noise.

Toyo R888's on Hurdy's car - Now THAT'S tyre noise! Sounds like an army lorry, and I love it!

But, I agree, road tyres made for the normal market are supposed to be quiet.

:signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: @ poverty - Have to ask Ifti as he was the previous owner!!!!


Rest assured mate - no handbrake turns. In fact, Ive never handbrake turned any car in my life!!
I was far too careful with the ED30, never really drove it like it should be driven - I do regret it now though! lol

 :evilgrin:

Sound great on track, but on a motorway they could get a little on my nerves.

I'm pleased to report that the R1R's are virtually silent though :jumpmove: :star:
