Depends on the model - I personally prefer Yoko's as i've had good experiences with A008's, A539, A048R, A032R - all have been very good at what they were designed for.

Dunlop D01J's and Formula R's are good also.

There is no one tire fits all, price, life, grip, noise/ride etc all come into play - what are the things that are important to you and what do you use it for?

Personally i'd never use anything less than an R compound tire but i don't do alot of km's these days.

assuming 10", if they're Yoko A008's, then Dunlop D93J's are much better, if they're Yoko A032R's, then the Yokos are meant to be better

so Yoko A008 < Dunlop D93J < Yoko A032

D01J's are 12" Formula R
D93J's are 10" Formula R

A008s will last longer than the Dunlops, and IMO they are not a bad road tyre- hell we used to run them on the track before A032R came out! :lol:
Most of the other brand roady 165/70s we still can get are rubbish now.
