Default Tire ?

Any input/insights into Dunlop SP Sport A2 tires? Anyone have them?

Thanks

Note: I am looking for something that will drive reasonably well in snow also....so that rules out a lot of tires It is for my wifes car.

I've not used them, or heard of them. From the little bit I do know about them they seem decent.
May I recommend Yokohama AVS ES100's... reasonably priced, and awesome tires. (Not for snow though).

Im such a whore, always pawning off what I have on other people.
ahahahah

Falken Azenis all the way baby!! I loved running down the front straight at VIR at 110+ and deep into Turn 1 with all four tires squarly planted, digging into the pavement for that much needed grip!! :thumbup:

Hehe, I'm not sure if Azenis and drive "reasonable well in snow" mix
h:

Azenis are a great tire, but compared to the other all-season stuff out there, prepare to feel like santa's sled if you use them in the snow. Then again maybe drumsy has a diff view on this? I'd like to know...do you actually drive on the azenis in the snow?

Oops, yep, that wasn't there when I posted. Due to their meaty tread pattern, Azenis will send you shooting off into an embankment. That's also why Azenis don't perform to great in the rain.
