Tires DUNLOP or GISLAVED

I got about the same on my dunlop roadsport 2 tires, I'm on my 2nd set!

I used to drive Gislaved studded tires in my Tuscon for 2yrs, great tires.

Just got a set of Dunlop Trailmax Missions mounted on my 800 XCa and very impressed with them so far. They grip surprisingly well on the road and handle gravel and service roads/hard pack dirt roads with ease.

I have D606 on both ends at the moment. Perfectly fine on dry pavement once you trust them.

Tusk Dsport is same tread design as Dunlop 606 but 1/2 the cost. Love mine.

A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.

I currently drive 2018 XC90 r5 and live in Montreal, Canada with Gislaved tires. There is absolutely nothing in Volvo XC90 that makes it ideal car to handle large amount of snow.

I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.

Needless to say the stock Dunlop were showing wire after 12000 miles

These are the worst tires I’ve ever had on a sports car by far.
