Once you talk about ditching the crap Dunlops that come from the factory and adding a rear sway bar, you are talking big-time fun.
Nokians on her FWD CC now. It's a beast in the snow.
We've had ice and slush for the last few weeks, no problem for my TDI + 16" Nokians.
Can't go wrong with Nokians. On my '01 MK4 GTI, I used a set of Hakka 1s for 5 or 6 years; great tires. The Michelin Xice Xi2 are great too.
I run 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza star spec at the track, they have been great
YES< Subaru ahs better AWD, but put on Tig good snow tires like Dunlop M3 or Pirelli or Michelin, and there is no obstacle. I used those tires on FWD and RWD cars in Southern Alps and never had issues, never got stuck, always break on a dime. With 4Motion they are unstoppable.
just imagine the time if those ****ty dunlop all sesasons were replaced with a decent michelin pilot a/s, bf goodrich g force kdw, or continental extreme contact dws. guaranteee that time would drop by another half second or so.
I paid $220 for 4 almost-brand-new Nokian WRG2 a month ago, installed. They were at about 90% remaining still. I'd rather get slightly-used good tires than brand-new pieces of sh*t. 100% happy with them so far.
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.
I am not happy with the quality of the Dunlop tires and I feel they should replace all the tires with a better reinforced sidewall in order to avoid the problem from resurfacing.
