pretty sure i had some Dunlops on my GTI a decade ago or more, and would buy them again, too.
Had a bunch o different Dunlops on three different cars and they're far better economy tires than the sumitomos or coopers I've used.
A little spendier, but absolutely love my Yokohama S.Drives in 205/50/15. Best tires I've driven, hands down. They outperform the Dunlops in every condition, are queiter and stiffer sidewalls, don't squeal etc...
Star Specs - 90% of the Bridgestone at 80% of the price.
I just picked up a set of Yokohama TRZ's for my wifes Golf, as they seemed to be a good all-around choice. She's had them a couple weeks now and they have been great. They feel great in the dry and in the wet, and are much quieter than the OEM Goodyears that they replaced.
The Direzza's are pretty sticky and take a lot before they break traction. I'm very happy with them performance-wise.
I like Yokohama's approach: In regards to handling, the tires were not destined for track duty, so we experienced a level of performance that was slightly above the standard OE tire on most modern passenger vehicles. A few of us did the sentiment that the tire did improve its ability to stay planted after a few hot laps, which would give credence to Yokohama\u2019s claim that the special compound will change its handling characteristics for the better when driven aggressively.
I am currently running some Yokohama Avid H4s, I have not been very impressed with them dry road handleing is nice however, snow and water is another story. I only got close to 35k out of these tires and I am looking for something that handles the same if not better and will most importantly give me better tread wear.
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.
Having had bad experiences w/ a few different sets of Dunlop tires (most recently the craptastic SP Sport 5000s on my Genesis which are 90% worn with only approx. 10k miles on them since I run snow tires in the winter), I have to say I'm not a fan of their tires generally speaking.
