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!
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.
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.
had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.
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.
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...
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.
These tires are notorious for sidewall bubbles. I went through about 6 or 7 in a year and a half, eventually bit the bullet and bought a new brand of tire.
My GTI came with Dunlop Sport 01 A/S. DO NOT get these tires. I have 6000 miles on my car, and have gone through 3 of them so far due to leaks and bubbles. They don't hydroplane much, I give them that, but they do not take well to potholes at all.
I've got this issue myself. I believe my problem is that my tires are out of round. If I spin them on the car it is plainly obvious. They've been that way since new. Dunlops from tire rack.
