I'd get Dunlop Q3's. Q3's have more grip than you'll ever need. They warm up fast(1 lap on the track, or a couple of minutes on the street), grip extremely well, and talk decently well for a street tire.
I just switched from PSS to ZII and did my first event last two days ago. I prefer the ZII for track days. It feels more precise and did well in the wet. I felt that it was a bit easier to modulate braking on the ZII. On the street it seems a bit louder and there is more feel from expansion seams and other road surface defects.
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.
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.
Good news: the breaks/tires worked GREAT for stopping quickly for an accident in front of me.
I had a set of Dunlop SP Sport tires on the Sentra a while back. They were good in the dry, decent in the wet and sucked ass in the cold.
The Dunlop's are worthless if you plan on doing any sort of off road driving. They were put on there to mainly optimize fuel consumption.
The OEM Dunlops on my 12 GLI suck in the wet and I'm sure they would be worse in the snow.
