Tires Nexen or DUNLOP

Star Specs - 90% of the Bridgestone at 80% of the price.

The Direzza's are pretty sticky and take a lot before they break traction. I'm very happy with them performance-wise.

i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.

think I actually have been running my dunlaps at 36 front 38 rear cold maybe a couple psi more, can't remember since its been so long. It usually gains a couple psi (think it was getting to 40 all around hot) on the first run and I bleed back down to that point.

On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.

I have Dunlop Star Specs and I absoutly love them! They are sooo grippy its crazy, some say they are a little loud but who cares when you can corner like a gecko on glass!

Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..

The OEM Dunlops on my 12 GLI suck in the wet and I'm sure they would be worse in the snow.

I had a Falken Ziex 512 tire explote on the highway so I switched to Dunlop Direzza DZ101s and it's probably the worst rain tire I've had, I'm spinning tires everywhere... straight line, turning, braking.
