Well, the topic says it.
How bad are they, I mean, that's what I got so far.
This is my first season, so should I just do the whole season with them? or I should consider purchasin something serious?
Is it what really slows me down? my suspension is good (Koni sport/neuspeed race, itr rear + beaks)

Give me your opinions please!

 

You probably should've gotten some Yoko AVS ES100s, which are around the same price as the Dunlops. I heard they were too flexible, so I never considered the FM901s.

 

I've never driven with them, but have ridden in, and instructed a few people with the tires. They do seem to grip fairly well, but the sidewalls are quite flexy, and require a lot of pressure to keep from roll-over.

They are on par with most of the other semi- high performance tires out there... kumho 712s and the like....IMO

 

i believe these are better tires than kumho 712s for sure. the avs es100s aren't all that for autocrossing, but are a good tire. all the cheap performance tires suffer from soft sidewalls, but atleast the fm901s will grip.

 

ok nice,. can someone comment on tire pressure for Dunlops FM901 in Autox?
I run 17" wheels though

 

I run the FM901s on an 89 EF hatch in 205/40-16 on a 7" wheel. With 37 PSI in the front, and 34 in the rear, I get no rollover whatsoever, and they grip pretty well. On the street, I run 28 PSI all around, and I POUND around some long sweepers, and they stick quite well, also with no rollover.

I like them alot. I have run Yoko A520, Kumho 712, Yoko Parrada Spec 1, Yoko AVSi, Yoko A510, Dunlop W-10, as well as quite an assortment of autocross tires from Yoko A008R, A032R, BFG TA R-1, Kumho Ecsta V700, Toyo RA-1, Hoosier autocrosser, etc... and in my opinion, the FM901 sticks the best out of the "street" tires.

 

thanks, that was helpful!
so a little more in front and they'll grip better!
