Tires DUNLOP or WANLI

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.

These were on my R32 (as shown) and only saw 5-6k on the roads, and were stored winters. That said, tires are more of a gimme than anything else. With the off camber/toe wear from a substantially lowered R you lose a lot of inner tread.

I've run Dunlop Wintersport 3D's for going on 4 years. They're great in snow aswell as just on cold pavement.

I've been running Dunlop Direzza Z-1 StarSpecs on the track and on the street with no issues, still on OEM 18" wheels. NYC potholes have not been kind to me either, but no bubbles.

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

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)

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.
