Dunlop X22,s

What type of car you using? I,ve been using Dunlop rally tyres for a few years now on Rear wheel drive 205 , having previously used Avons and Hoosier . have found them competitive especially in changeable conditions

Kumhos and R888's not a patch on them in my opinion, especially in the wet, but there are plenty of others who disagree.

Yes I think they are the best tyre for my car if you need something that is road legal.

This footage is in the wet with 22s as moulded, uncut

Iam not sure what this video demonstrates other than it was a wet day?

Essentially a moulded rally tyre, i.e. a slick with minimum tread grooves, that shouldn't really grip in the wet uncut, but does.
This video demonstrates the uncut tyre still grips, even in wet conditions.
