Hey,

Does anybody know where to get Dunlop formula R D01J or D93J tyres in the Perth area?

Cheers,
Matt

The only place is Kostera's in Kalumunda.
He is the only Dunlop(Motorsports) supplier in WA.

for anybody that wants to know,

D93J's are $125 a corner, no such thing as a D01J for a 10 inch rim.

I got mine from Garys Motorsport. http://www.garysmotorsporttyres.com.au/

Anyone got any on-road experiences with D93J vs Yoko A008? Specifically, grip vs lifespan?

Anyone got a handy pic of the D93J tread pattern?

edit: Google Images gives 3 different variants.. would like to see what fellow Ausmini'ers are using..

[edit] The horse's mouth, dunloptyres.com.au also show that pattern, with the description "Chevron block pattern tarmac rally tyre that excels in the wet"

[edit #2] These are the one's I'd consider against the A008s, hence the question above...

That is a sexy tyre.. no A032, but still noice.

Performance/wear wise it's a comparison to the 032, not the 008.

have been useing these for the last year and are a great tire in the wet and dry. I'm not sure if they are better than 008's but they are a soft tyre and great grip but I believe they don't last as long as 008's
Perfect for the track but wear a little to quick on the road but I would not hesitate to buy them again

the reason I'm going to buy them is beacause they are only $125 a tyre, unlike the A032s which I've heard are well over $200. Plus I can't find any A008s

Beaurepaires in South Melbourne quoted me $130 for A008s the other day, so that's not a bad price for the D93Js...

Yeah, Stuckeys do the Dunlop D93J for $125 per tire here in Melbourne.

They tried to convince me to go for the "SP sport R7". They claimed it was the same compound as the D93J's, but had a period style tread pattern.

I preferred the tread pattern on the D93J's though.

I bought my A008s for $100 a tyre a couple of years ago, starting to wear a bit now though. Great tyre but. I was also told about the R7s but I like think the D93Js look nicer. I wanted the D01Js, they look brilliant, but no go in a 10.
