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...
These are good tires. I have 225/50/16's on my 2000 Passat GLS Wagon. I have about 8,000 miles so far - Wear is good, Grip is very good, Feel is good, Wet Grip is very good, breakaway has not happened so I can't comment on that. They do make some noise - if you listen you will start hearing the whine about 40-45 MPH, but it does not increase linearly from there, just kinda levels off. If you have your tunes playing you'll probably never hear them. My wife did not notice until I brought it to her attention. I had Dunlop SP8000 on for the first 38K and these tires are very good also. So far I like the FM901 just a little better, they are a little more firm on ride and feel through the steering and easily better in the wet. Turn in is more crisp with the SP8000's, but with the Passat Wagon the ratio is quite fast (probably for the lame stock tires) so I actually like the FM901's better. I can be more precise. I recommend them.
I am running 225/45/17 Dunlop FM901's. You should try a run or two with your tires at about 28 - 30 psi. See how that goes first. Then try two runs at 22-25 psi, If you see your 60' improving, and your high end not hurting too much, you can try a little lower at 20 -22 psi.
Just ordered some stock size tires from Tirerack - $51/tire for Dunlop SP Sport A2 - good reviews on there and they are cheap.
Dunlop SP 8000s 195/55-zr14. I love them. Do not use in the snow, though.
I second the D60/A2 vote...Dunlop just updated the design..the new name is sport A2 or something like that...haven't tried those new treads yet. These are all season though...is that what you want?
I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.
I am running 205-50-15's Kumho and it is horrible!!! Luckily these tires I had laying around and no "real" money was spent on them...
i have kuhmo supras(195 45 16) and they suck for traction. SUCK I had dunlop w10's, they were ok, but lasted like 15k miles. thats my input
