The Elites are a much better tire and I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.
Pros: much better tire

I run Dunlop American Elites. Mind you, I do so because it’s a good tire - not so much a ‘Made in America’ reason, albeit a plus.
Pros: good tire
Dunlop SP Sport J6, my go to for budget tyres. The wet and dry performance is good although it can get a bit noisy over time.
Pros: good wet and dry performance
Cons: bit noisy over time
Dunlop Roadsmart 4 is a very good tire.
Good grip and good mileage.
Pros: Good grip
Cons: good mileage
I joined here and immediatley saw a dozens of posts about how SHIT the stock Dunlops are at 40F or less and massacres of spanking new WRXs.
Pros: drove beautifully summer
Cons: SHIT at 40F or less
Vehicle:
Subaru
My Dunlops are near end of life. I only work two days a week so I’ve made it work but driving in the other day had a quarter inch of snow on the ground…..sketchy asfff.
Cons: near end of life
I live in north Georgia and last winter kept the Dunlops on. Once the temps were consistently in the low 30s it was like driving with Fisher Price wheels. I constantly had to go slow through turns and could feel slipping even at low speeds. It was not a fun time. I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all seasons this winter and the difference in feel in the cold is incredible. It’s been in the 20s this week and the tires aren’t slipping at all.
Pros: incredible difference in feel
Cons: slipping even at low speeds
I swapped my Dunlops over to my VA, and in colder temps (dry) they feel harder/slick compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 that was on there. Not sketchy or anything, but I could feel a difference. Temps were about 30°F.
Pros: could feel a difference
Cons: harder/slick compared
Ended up getting the set as we're going to have some snow and had a road trip north. I immediately noticed the tires are a lot more forgiving over bumps, and the car feels a lot more smooth than before.
Pros: more forgiving over bumps
Cons: less planted on turns
Absolute garbage in winter here in central new york. Need one say more. Summer tire in warm wet conditions are satisfactory. Cold dry conditions they have a slight slippery feel and if there's any cold wet conditions like below 50 they tend to move the car around.
Pros: satisfactory in warm wet
Cons: garbage in winter
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 7000 km
