trying to decide between Dunlop Sport 300sp (205/65/15) or Bridgestone Supercats (225/60/15) Just bought a '97 'coon that has good tread Dunlops & am looking to get rid of my AU that Ive recently put a set of Supercats on that look a lot better due to the bit of extra width. The Dunlops on the other car look to have similar tread depth & seem to hang on pretty good & the supercats can be a bit rear happy in the wet. Just wondering if its worth the hassle to swap over & anyone has any preferences (btw I want to keep the rims on the same cars so it would be strip & swap 8 tyres)

Out of the two, Dunlop Sport 300sp for sure. Supercats are rubbish. Extra width does not always mean extra grip.

yup, picked that one up "The Dunlops on the other car look to have similar tread depth & seem to hang on pretty good & the supercats can be a bit rear happy in the wet." but I have come across tyres that are good when reasonably new but turn to crap real fast once a bit worn down a bit, or others that grip good but have the life expectancy of young blokes first time up to bat

The Dunlop sports are the better tyre . they do tend to wear the inner edge on Falcons though . so long as you keep them rotated every surface you should be fine.

Best tyre for Ba/Bf would have to be Toyo Proxes 4,super Quietso would be the same for the Au The Proxes T1R I found to hard and noisy
