I am currently using dunlop d05 and it’s time to change. I would like to know which other tyre has similar design as this?

1. It helps prevent kerb rash on the rims due to the tyre walls are slightly “More outside”.

2. The lining of the tyre, marked in green depicted below, I think it makes the rims look bigger? As opposed to the goodyear assurance triplemax 2 design. Especially since my rims are black, so the tyre lining would be more obvious.

i think is Dunlop D06 and Toyo TR1

Put 205

Your tyre wider then will have that look

That's called rim protector. Since D05 has, then the newer D06 probably would have it too. I remember PS3 and Goodyear F1D5 have them too.

Thanks all for the reply, will take note. Have found that even the same model of tyre can look different. Sample below. So i guess the tyre size and maybe rim size affects also?

Probably different manufacturing country or different year of release.

Maybe. Then need to depend on luck. Hopefully Toyo TR1 will have what I want.

How is the durability of your Dunlops? TR1 is good but I'm afraid it'll get bald quicker.

Condition like this after 30k+ km. Can drag till 40k km perhaps.


I dont mind if TR1 gets bald quicker, nvr try UHP tyre before, so want to try.

edit: read wrong.

Wah. Quite lasting. If performance can still be maintained by at least 50% then it's a pretty good tyre.

TR1 will be quite a poison.

That one can still go another 20-30k km, still very thick.

But the sides already worn. Still can tahan so much longer?
For now i feel it’s still ok in the dry, not when it’s wet.

Can la, sides will be quite bald by then.

dont afraid, it is not bald quicker

currently using TR1 since Feb 2019, now the tyre is still relatively looks new with its deep groove, used it daily city commute 20km , KL to & fro Kuantan maybe 5 times, KL to & fro Kota Bharu around 4 times, KL to Teluk Intan 2 times

previously used Continental CC6 & Dunlop D05, both also good, no problem

like TR1 better because the looks, looks premium with sporty design although my car far from being sportyl
