Comment:
I'm quite an aggressive driver for want of a better phrase (I don't hang around) and have driven many cars on many different tyres including Bridgestone, toyo, advan, Goodyear, the list goes on. However, these davanti dx640 tyres are on another level, I live in the countryside in rural Norfolk UK, road conditions aren't the greatest even on dual carriageways but these tyres make driving a breeze. Traction under hard acceleration is extremely good, they hook up well and will barely spin up the wheels (my bmw 325i e92 is 225hp and spins most tyres you put on it) the same goes for hard acceleration in the wet, giving the driver a lot of confidence in the vehicle (especially rwd vehicles). Traction under hard cornering in the wet is probably the best I've had from any tyre I've ever used, very precise and the feed back is unreal, you can put the car exactly where you want it on the road and it seems this is possible even when you think it shouldn't be (wet slippery roundabouts are not a problem for this tyre even at speed). With that said, you can probably imagine the cornering capabilites of this tyre when being used in dry situations. Infact, it's hard to feel any real difference in its abilities between wet performance and dry performance. The fact I've also done 5000 miles (not km) barely using any tread is great and I have no idea how they can make a tyre that handles as well as this, gives feedback as well as this, even in the wet, yet doesn't burn through rubber? It's crazy!
These tyres may also be the quietest tyres I've used, again surprising as usually for the performance of a tyre like this you get a fair amount of road noise. I'd go as far to say these davanti tyres act like a semi slick in the dry, act like a wet racing tyre in the wet giving massive amounts of confidence to the driver, yet sound and have the longevity of a premium brand tyre that would cost you more than double the price.
