Tires NITTO or DUNLOP

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.

After reading some reviews and looking at pictures of stretched tires in different sizes, I purchased four Nitto Neo Gens in 205/45/ZR17.

I threw on my 4th set of Nitto Gens... Ugh, I love these thangs... Ran 25k with -3.5deg camber and had nothing but even wear on the tires. Hence why I bought another set.

on my second set. i love em. they are super quiet, grippy and soft but dont wear too fast and very comfy.

I love mine, I've got 30k on my current set. Only complaint is they get pretty loud as they wear down. Great on snow and rain.

Neo Gens are good tires. Good for camber wear and they are not directional so you can flip them.

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

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.

I'll never use Dunlop again, although I had the SP Sports as OEM on the GLI not the Signature. They ran like garbage, had a horrible lifespan, and provided no benefit above the Generals I have now. Yet they are much pricier.
