Tires DUNLOP or Goodyear

And I agree about the 3D wintersport tires. They can grip in cold temps but not suck in the summer. I had them on my wife's TSX through 4 NE winters. Great tire.

I have dunlop 3ds now and they are great in the dry. Really hard to tell you're on snow tires.

I love running Dunlop Wintersport 3D's and 4D's on performance cars. They don't feel like winter tires at all when the roads are clean. They offer dry/warm grip on par with performance tires.

That said, after picking the tire I thought would provide the best value I found the Goodyear Comfort Tread Touring was the same bottom line price locally because of a big rebate. Made in USA and may be the best tires I have ever owner.

I'd get Dunlop Q3's. Q3's have more grip than you'll ever need. They warm up fast(1 lap on the track, or a couple of minutes on the street), grip extremely well, and talk decently well for a street tire.

Decided to go with GoodYear Assurance Comfortred Touring tires. Already put on 400 miles on them and I have no complaints yet. However... they ride better than the previous tires. The Comfortred sticks to the road and at high rate of speed (80mph) was a slight noise level to them but after riding on them, I do not hear any noise from them.

I just switched from PSS to ZII and did my first event last two days ago. I prefer the ZII for track days. It feels more precise and did well in the wet. I felt that it was a bit easier to modulate braking on the ZII. On the street it seems a bit louder and there is more feel from expansion seams and other road surface defects.

I have Dunlop Graspic DS-3s on my car in the winter and they perform quite well on dry and wet pavement. They are a bit more slippy and the feel is a bit more muddy

My experience with Goodyear is as an SA with BMW and VW. For a "high-quality" tire, they seemed to wear out fast and give unwanted vibrations sooner.

We previously had the Signatures on our Avant and I did not care for them. They were far less sporty than the A/S3s that are on one of our other cars now and also wore poorly and became pretty noisy as they wore. They had sort of a "blocky" feeling to me.
