Tires DUNLOP or PHANTOM

I run 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza star spec at the track, they have been great

YES< Subaru ahs better AWD, but put on Tig good snow tires like Dunlop M3 or Pirelli or Michelin, and there is no obstacle. I used those tires on FWD and RWD cars in Southern Alps and never had issues, never got stuck, always break on a dime. With 4Motion they are unstoppable.

just imagine the time if those ****ty dunlop all sesasons were replaced with a decent michelin pilot a/s, bf goodrich g force kdw, or continental extreme contact dws. guaranteee that time would drop by another half second or so.

Good news: the breaks/tires worked GREAT for stopping quickly for an accident in front of me.

I bought 4 Dunlop tires on Tire Rack some 3 yrs ago for my Passat B5.

Tires are a great value. Good handeling in Dry and some wet. Started to get noise from them at 20K. Should rotate every 5k and should last a little longer than the 30K I got.

i drove on the OEM Dunlop SP8000's that came on my old B5 A4 years ago and they were just average.

They did ok on the track for a summer tire (240tw) but I think next season I'm going with something else. For the life of me I could not corner in these

I got my WRX in March, near the end of the winter season. It snowed heavily one day, and I got stuck trying to go up my driveway because I only had the stock Dunlops. AWD was no replacement for winter tires.

Dunlop are utter garbage (loud terrible tread life)
