17x7.5 et40 195/40 Yoko S-Drive (Front)
For my A3, I went with Yokohama W.Drive's and they've been great so far...just a tad expensive! $375/tire at the local dealer...but since I needed them quick and no one else had any tires for my titanium option 18" wheels and most were sold out for the season, I said f*ck it and bought them. They should last me for a few winters...
i purchased dunlop wintersport m3 about 3 years ago and i look forward to the snow in RI and i travel to ski areas regularly with no real problems.
I've had the Dunlop M3's on 4 differnt cars including 2 RWD I really like those , they are also very quiet and fairly responsive in the dry too.
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.
ran my bs rs960's at 37 lasted 37k . . . wierd excellent performance through the thread life and probably could have gone 40k, but the thread life was below 5/32. Just got Yoko S.Drives this weekend, set them at 37 as well.
From what I can gather, the 195/65 14 I have on there now are fairly stiff. Not as stiff as I'd like though. I still get a little plowing fron the front end on some onramps, but maybe a couple more PSI will help that. Of course, what I have to compare it to are a set of Falken Azenis, so really, there is no comparison.
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.
I hated the Dunlop's that were OEM which is what they have. They never balanced and wore out in 12k.
