I just replaced my worn out Michelin's with a brand new set of Cooper RS3-G1 tires (235-45-17) and the traction from a standing start is impressive.
when i had my 03 wolfsburg i ran 225/45/17 dunlop signature HP's, amazing tire for the money
Tire fit no rubbing at full lock so I ordered three more. The increased diameter is noticeable under acceleration, but I can live with it.
17" VW/Ronal Sima with Dunlop Wintersport 4D. Really happy with this combo.
Other than the heavy feeling at low speed (and a little bit of throttle fixes that), I think that most of the difference that I've experienced so far can be pinned on tires rather than the rack itself - feedback of the 14" Cooper H rated tires are slow and sloppy when compared to the BFG summer tires on our other car. I do like the faster ratio of the manual rack though, and I can feel the tug of the tires in rutted suburban streets, so feedback is good, if a little muted through the tires.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT. Best bang for buck IMO.
I installed Dunlop sport max RT summer tires and they work great and were priced good, I've had them on all winter too and I've driven them in 20-30° weather and they still performed very good, although I'm happy overall with the tire, they're almost worn out.
I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .
Two and a half winters. Rotated twice. All four tires are ruined. I would have never noticed it if I hadn't had seen that shiny upper control arm.
Dunlop are utter garbage (loud terrible tread life)
