nemex12 · 01-24-2011, 03:52 PM

The F1 Asymmetrics are rated under the GS-D3's, which I've personally owned and track on before.
The Direzza Z1 Star Specs were a lot better than the GS-D3's, so if you're choosing between the F1 Asymmetric vs. the Star Spec, it's Star Spec hands down; no contest.

edit: I'm not sure if you mean the Dunlop DZ101 or the Z1 star spec. Those are two very different tires.

Basically.....DZ101 < F1 Asymmetric < GS-D3 < Z1 Star Spec.

The star specs took me about 2 track weekends (albeit I was a complete beginner at that time) and a year's worth of driving to wear out. Not too shabby, considering they're not that expensive. And they do provide ample amount of grip

nemex12 · 01-24-2011, 05:59 PM

thanks guys, already bought the star specs and I was surprised to see that they were more expensive that the goodyears (almost a grand) when some time ago they were almost the same price as hankooks. kind of felt ripped off so I hope the feeling of driving on those tires make me forget my lighter wallet

The price went up (at least here in the states,) when Tire Rack arranged exclusive distribution rights for the Star Specs. They are certainly the better track/autocross tire, though for general use I would probably go with the Goodyears - I'm currently running the Hankook V12s on the M as the everyday tire but still have a set of Star Specs for the odd trackday it still runs.
