Tires BRIDGESTONE or DUNLOP

I am running 225/45/17 Dunlop FM901's. You should try a run or two with your tires at about 28 - 30 psi. See how that goes first. Then try two runs at 22-25 psi, If you see your 60' improving, and your high end not hurting too much, you can try a little lower at 20 -22 psi.

I finally decided on the Bridgestone RE950's. I bought them on Monday and I haven't regretted it once so far. So far with these tires I haven't lost grip once when I didn't try and sometime not when I DID try.

Bridgestone S-02 Pole Positions--awesome in the rain and REALLY awesome on dry.

A friend of mine has the 950s on his Del Sol and does NOT stop saying great things about them. He got them at the Bridgestone Racing Academy for half price and is really really happy. However he does 'caution' that they are horrible, horrible in snow.

My vote is for RE950. I have just replaced my Passat's 195 OEMs with BS RE950 215/60/15. So glad I made the switch, the difference is like day and night. No sidewall flex, the wheels now look much better too.

Bridgestone Potenza RE950 - lotsa grip in wet or dry - had them for a year and not disappointed at all, and I do drive my car very hard.

Just ordered some stock size tires from Tirerack - $51/tire for Dunlop SP Sport A2 - good reviews on there and they are cheap.

Yes, WS50 are like bars of soap on dry roads. Almost dansgerously slick... Don't corner too hard on them, you'll be in the ditch fast. I had that wonderful experience on my 97 GTP... If you bear that in mind, they are phenomenal in snow and especially on ice

Bridgestone Potenza G009 195/50/15 (horrible crap tires)

the pilots suck the largest balls this side of the circus in winter cond. I'm up in hamilton NY in winters and i got the blizzak LM-22s on millle miglia HP3 17\"s in january. they're the ****. i was slidin all over the place under any kind of acceleration with the pilots.
