Share on social networks:
I installed a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3's. This is a quick review of my thoughts on the handling and performance, so far. Wet Grip: Amazingly capable. Dry Grip: The tires grip reasonably well. Snow Grip: Amazing. Truly amazing. Ice Grip: grip was still very good. Low-speed Handling: I am fairly impressed with how these handle. High-speed Stability: Well, these are winter tires and feel well-suited to a sedan driven in a commuting style. Noise: None, so far. Comfort: Still, these are quite comfortable.
Pros: amazingly capable wet grip, amazing snow grip
Cons: a bit soft in corners
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
Mileage: 500 km
Not much noise, but have seen an uneven wear pattern, even with periodic tire rotation. For my Passat, at least, the rear tire position begins to create a "finned edge" to the shoulders of the tire.
Pros: not much noise
Cons: uneven wear pattern
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Dunlop 5000's Are these tires super loud for you guys too? I'm starting to get annoyed by mine. They seem to stick real well through corners though.
Pros: stick real well
Cons: super loud
based on my own prior experience.. skinnier tires are better in snow/slush.... so I bought a set of 205 50 17s myself... Dunlop Winter M2s for me!
Pros: better in snow/slush
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.
Pros: great UHP all-season tire
Cons: quick wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.
Pros: best tire, great performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.
Pros: better tire
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta IV
I've cut consistant 2.1s with Dunlop SP8000s with 17psi in them. Pretty damned good for a street tire and aired up properly, they corner unlike anything else I've every used.
Pros: corner unlike anything else
Dunlop SP5000 get the job done almost as goos as or just as good as Drag Radials. Proven over and over for solid 1.9 - 2.0 60' times...
Pros: solid 1.9-2.0 60' times
