Anyone running Dunlap Star Specs? If so do you like them? Looking into getting some but not sure what to think of them. They got good reviews from Car and Driver though. My runner up is Hankook Ventus V12 evo, like them but also not sure...

Anyone help me out here?

I'm running Dunlop Star Spec tires on my 193M wheels. Very good dry tire and worked good too in heavy rain. I just had them for about 1k miles, so I can't comment on the life yet. But as for dry grip, they are just awesome. I went slightly wider in the front (now 235/40/18 instead of OEM 225/40/18), and kept the back as OEM size (255/35/18). At the autox couple weeks ago, I felt that the car responded better to my steering input, and reduced the understeering characteristic quite well.

On the down size, they seem to be a bit more noisier than my OEM Michelin RFT. I didn't mind that since I'm looking for the dry grip, and the ability to flip these tires so I wouldn't wear just the outside shoulder.

Ouch, not too happy to see they are noisier than my RFTs. Guess I'll keep looking, would like something quieter if at all possible.
