I bought two DZ101's about 18 months ago for my NA6, they cost $190 each for 205/50/15.

No complaints about the handling in wet or dry (road use), but I've put less than 10,000 km on them so far.

I had a set of these on my eg Civic and managed to get sidewall damage on one (thanks to some bad roadworks) in the first two days after buying the car!

Dunlop had a 6 week waiting period to have a set in the country and all vendors I could possibly chase up were out. Eventually landed it cost me $280 (thats less than retail) for 1 replacement tyre!

Mine were 17inch and other than the initial problem they gripped superbly (the civic handled like it was on rails) and wore really well... even impressed my friends with Falken azeni's/Pirelli's etc.
