Had RE003s but was recommended to try Dragon Sports and another friend uses nothing but Pirelli’s so he advised me to try them too. Definitely on a par with the RE003s so far, especially once warmed up, have not experienced them much in wet but seemed pretty grippy in the short drive I did do in rain. Seem to be wearing well but too early to comment really. Conclusion : very impressed so far, will try to comment again when I have completed more kilometres

They say there are only two things certain in life, death and taxes, and sadly not in that order. One thing not for certain are tyres. Finding a good set of tyres is akin to finding a good wife, road testing is not really an option, the occasional blowout is inevitable and if you don’t treat them with TLC you may find yourselves parting much too early, leaving a sizeable dent in your wallet. I am now at the age it was time for a midlife crisis, I have myself a new awesome Korean wife (see above) and one of the best Korean cars on the market, a Kia Stinger GT, with 30,000kms on the clock. I have been running Perelli Dragon Sport since new. Not the normal tyres on the Stinger as the dealer had done a number of awesome enhancements. The Dragon Sport are amazing, incredible handling in dry and wet, road noise is good, and wear is excellent. With 30000kms on them I still have at least another 5000kms before they will need replacement. By the reviews I have read they are doing much better than the standard Continental’s that come on the Stinger. The Stinger looks and performs amazing on them, and I most certainly will be keeping with Dragon Sport and keeping the wife.

Just Purchased these and the road noise has reduced significantly . Perfect tires in the rain definitely sticks to the road with no wheel spin.

I bought these tyres around 30kms ago and they have kept me stuck to the road and track. I wanted a type which could be quite and wear well on road and then be able to hold me in the corners when I’m having fun. These tyres are exactly that!! These tyres are a soft enough compound making it great is most road conditions while still being useable for a daily drive. Also there is something about the name which makes you want to test their limits, which I have tried to reach their limit and I can’t find it. Great tire.

Came as a new set on the Clio rs with the stiffer cup chassis - meaning that comfort was never the priority - I don't think the dragon sports do anything to help make things more comfortable but that's not expected from a sports tyre. Handling wise they are excellent in the wet or the dry and wear has remained even despite a fair bit of 'spirited' cornering. After 30,000km they are getting a bit low on tread which is reasonably good for grippy performance tires I don't know what they are like on the track - pilot sports seem to be the go to - but as a performance road tyre they are fantastic value if you shop around.

Was recommended Dragon Sports by a mate who had them on his WRX, and I can confidently say that these tyres are well worth the price. Anyone with a Subie will know about the understeer you can get in the wet sometimes, and while driving on these I've had no understeer in the wet at all, even when taking slow corners pretty quick. Highly recommended for a more reliable daily.

I like to drive enthusiastically sometimes, these tyres are perfect for that and also day to day driving in all conditions. A bit noisy on coarse tarmac is my only complaint. I usually get 40,000k out of a set.

These tyres replaced Supercats (made by Bridgestone I think) and have made the car a much nicer place to be. The car feels confident in all weather conditions and are very quiet on all sealed road surfaces. The prices was very competitive and I am glad I made the choice. reallt can't go wrong with Pirelli tyres. I highly recommend these tyres for all round performance and value for money.

I’m a P plater driving an SV6 ute so the fact that these things are as sticky as the dirty sock in the corner of my room is sweet as. I can throw the car around corners harder than I was probably thrown when I was little, and unlike my soft spot, they haven’t given out yet. My one and only complaint is the fact that they are so glued to the tarmac I can’t get much slip going, especially in the wet, so no more hectic skids for a while. 11/10 would buy again

Excellent all round tyre for the money. Rock all boxes including ride quality, value, wet and dry grip and good treadwear.
