The Direzza ZII is Dunlop's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for serious sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts looking for race tire-like traction on the street or for use in autocross, drifting and track events. Designed for drivers who want Dunlop’s highest level of traction and handling in warm and dry conditions, Direzza ZII tires are not intended to be driven through snow, on ice or in near-freezing temperatures.



Direzza ZII’s high-grip tread compound is molded into a directional design with a continuous center rib flanked by massive shoulders that form a highly rigid tread that delivers high levels of dry grip and handling while promoting uniform tire temperatures and even wear across the tread. Two wide circumferential center grooves channel water through the center of the tread design while angled independent grooves help direct water to the sides of the footprint to enhance wet traction.



The Direzza ZII features Dunlop’s True Circle Profile that distributes tire deflection forces along the sidewall to provide more control by better communicating tire performance limits to the driver. Its internal structure includes JointLess Band (JLB) Technology that spirally winds polyamide cord over the two wide steel belts to promote strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed capability. Two-ply polyester sidewalls help resist lateral deflection to provide responsive handling and cornering stability.

the first shipment, which unfortunately will not include every size, of the new Direzza ZII is scheduled to arrive in our facility the week of January 14th warehouse.

See the results from our initial track drive here !

 

Very nice. I know there is a lot of interest in this tire.

 

Interesting.

 

was actually just on the phone with cy? yesterday talking about these. I can not wait to get them on my car. 255/40/17 should let me drive upside down right?

 

Around how many miles can u get out of these tires. I do not burn out. But I do go time attacking every now and then. And my car is a daily driver. I'd like to find something that will last but thats sticky too for the track.

 

Price isnt that bad. Wonder how these do compared to the z1

 

1.7% faster around the track.

 

GROUP BUY lol

 

damn.. ever since tire rack took over being the main dealer for dunlops R comps the prices of them have gone up... i remember getting my d1 star specs for 135 a tire shipped now it's 165 plus shipping

 

If we even had a chance it would probably only be one tire size.

 

There was a thread discussing these a while back in more depth.

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/auto...2013-a-290414/

Don't forget that these tires run wider than their actual "size" in order to "cheat" the SCCA classing system for autocross. 235s are almost 245s, 245s are 250s, etc.

 

I feel this needs reposting in this thread as well.

 

Just ordered a set! Can't wait till I get to try them out next year.

 

Sweet! hoping to get a set come spring need new auto x tires.

 

i would test these

 

i run the star specs they about had it so the ZII is going to be the next set FASHO

 

Does this mean the price of the star spec z1 will drop? Im cheap. Lol

 

ehhh...

 

Same here. I have a hard time justifying $1000 on tires every year, especially when NT05s are about 1/3 less.

 

the hankook r-s3's are still like 100 bux cheaper damn the 300 price difference in the 17's i run and the 18s of my new rim really make me reconsider putting my new rims on lol

 

Interesting. Might consider them for a dedicated summer setup.

 

everyone buy these! I work for dunlop

 

I did . they kick ass.

 

nice ~!

 

I know the thread is revived, but those look sick mounted on those PRF01s...
