Tires DUNLOP or Vredestein

based on my own prior experience.. skinnier tires are better in snow/slush.... so I bought a set of 205 50 17s myself... Dunlop Winter M2s for me!

I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.

The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.

had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.

4 studded Vredestein Transport Snow's 185/75/R14 8-ply, load index 102, N speed-rated (up to 87 mph) I'd go with all 4 tires, rather than just the rears.

I've cut consistant 2.1s with Dunlop SP8000s with 17psi in them. Pretty damned good for a street tire and aired up properly, they corner unlike anything else I've every used.

Dunlop SP5000 get the job done almost as goos as or just as good as Drag Radials. Proven over and over for solid 1.9 - 2.0 60' times...

Dunlop 5000's Are these tires super loud for you guys too? I'm starting to get annoyed by mine. They seem to stick real well through corners though.

These tires were purchased along with the wheels. Two, i had a second tire begin cracking on the sidewall which they are not covering, and they are trying to pass it off due to road hazard and underinflation. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, which they aren't covering! I am posting this as a warning, and it is up to you to make the ultimate decision. This is just my personal experience, with which i am very displeased. The problem is not with the company i bought the wheels from, but with Vredestein tires. I have never had this many problems with a set of tires in my life!

I hated the Dunlop's that were OEM which is what they have. They never balanced and wore out in 12k.
