The Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec is Dunlop's Extreme Performance Summer
tire developed for serious sports car, sports coupe and performance
sedan enthusiasts looking for race tire-like traction on the street or
for use in autocross, drifting and track events. The Direzza Sport Z1
Star Spec is for drivers who don’t want to wait as long for their tires
to come in during initial runs, as well as drivers of lighter weight
vehicles who are often confronted with the task of working tire
temperatures up to the point of generating peak grip.
As an
evolution of the Direzza Sport Z1 and continuing to use the same tread
design, the Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tread compound helps provide
faster lap times from the start by developing more traction in temperate
temperatures along with consistent grip on subsequent laps when the
tires are fully warmed up. While this means the Direzza Sport Z1 Star
Spec tread compound accommodates a wider operating temperature range
than the original Direzza Sport Z1 and reaches its maximum grip level
faster, Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec summer tires are not intended to be
driven through snow, on ice or in near-freezing temperatures.
Direzza
Sport Z1 Star Spec tires confirm their “Star Spec” identity in the form
of a 5-pointed star symbol branded adjacent to the Direzza Sport Z1
name on the sidewall. However, this 5-pointed star should not be
confused with the same symbol often branded by tire manufacturers on the
sidewalls of Original Equipment tires for BMW vehicles.
The Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tread compound is molded into a
directional design featuring notched, continuous shoulder ribs, large
intermediate shoulder blocks and a wide center rib to deliver consistent
contact with the road and enhance grip during cornering. Two wide,
circumferential center grooves, wavy shoulder grooves and multiple
lateral grooves provide water evacuation to enhance wet traction. The
tire's internal structure includes two wide steel belts reinforced by
JointLess Band (JLB) Technology spirally wound polyamide to provide
strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed capability while steel
cord reinforced, 2-ply polyester sidewalls help resist lateral
deflection to provide responsive handling and cornering stability.
