Tires Firestone or DUNLOP
I never had any trouble with Dunlop M3's
Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D Have been wonderful so far (about 1 month). I needed good overall tires since the autobahn is cleaned up nicely very quickly and only the smaller roads have snow/ice on them.
I've got a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D on the STI this year. So far I've been impressed.
i have run winterforce tires (firestones budget snow tires) with great success on my 2004 Sonata car is useless without em
I spent this weekend driving my R with the OEM Dunlop A/S M+S tires in light snow, snow that was about 6" deep, ice covered roads and wet roads that were iced over in certain locations (black ice) such as bridges etc.
Well I finally had a chance to road test the new Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires on the R32 on wet ice in freezing rain. Bearing in mind that I have driven VWs on top quality snow tires for many years, I can say I was pleasantly impressed with both the R32 and the Dunlop 3D tires.
I had a set of Dunlop wintersport M3s on my last car and was really happy with them.
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.
On my S2000, about 2 weeks ago had brand new Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs installed by a local garage. A few days later, the driver's side rear tires was extremely low on air pressure, that I noticed after the car was pulling to one side during acceleration/letting off the gas pedal.
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.
