Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP

And I agree about the 3D wintersport tires. They can grip in cold temps but not suck in the summer. I had them on my wife's TSX through 4 NE winters. Great tire.

I have dunlop 3ds now and they are great in the dry. Really hard to tell you're on snow tires.

I love running Dunlop Wintersport 3D's and 4D's on performance cars. They don't feel like winter tires at all when the roads are clean. They offer dry/warm grip on par with performance tires.

I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 on my wife's MK6 Jetta and I like them very much as well. They are just as quite and smooth as the Michelins on my CC.

I got the same tires on my 2-door mk7 GTI. I think the tires are great but they were vibrating on the freeway so i had the deal check the balance and two of them were slightly out of balance. Rebalanced and so far so good.

I have Pirelli's on our van and am much happier with them than I am with my Michelin's on my Golf. The Pirelli's are much much better in all conditions.

Got supercorsas on my Daytona. Never ever lost grip and I've had knee toe and peg down. Amazingly sticky tyres

The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.

My car came with the P-Zeros from the factory and they are the worst tires I've ever owned.

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