Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP

I have Yokahama AVS dB's on my Q45. They are quite possibly the best tire I've owned on any car.

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'd recommed the Dunlop A2/60's in a 185/60R14 (obviously).. they handle well, last a long time (if you rotate them every 5000 miles or so), and they don't cost an arm and a leg..

I'm coming off a set of Dunlop Sp5000s and the stock Michellins. Driving is all highly spirited street driving only, no AutoX. Plenty of heavy rain driving, some light snow use. Total Miles Michellin: 28k Dunlop: 23k Kumho: 20k (expected) Wet Traction Dunlops, superb .. wet Dunlops like dry Michellins. could drive at highway speeds in monsoon and car tracked perfectly straight. Amazing. Dry Traction Dunlops, hard to peel (very sticky). Can take corners significantly faster than with Michellins. On one of my favorite corners can take it at least 10mph faster (wide off-camber left sweeper going into a sharp off camber right S). Panic Stops Dunlops, hardly ever kicked on the ABS High Speed Maneouvers Dunlops, can do some wild ****te .. a little squeamish doing funny stuff at 120+ speeds. Overall much better than the Michellins Snow Dunlops get a big thumbs up. But, if you've got the extra scratch, go for the Dunlops.

I just purchased a set of Yokohama AVSdb tires for a 99 Jetta GLS and they are awesome! Nice handling, great in the rain, and not expensive.

I had / have AVID H4's on my Golf and think they are a really good tire. MUCH better than the stock Eagle GA's (but then what isn't). Good dry and wet traction, not bad in moderate snow but you really need to get real snows if you get more than a few inches of accumulation or slushy / ice conditions. Wear was quite good for an H rated tire, I managed about 65,000 kms or approx. 40k miles, not too shabby. I would say get them. Good entry level performance tire. Not hard core, but really good nonetheless.

I just put the tires on my Rabbit about 3000 miles ago. I would have to say they are the best tires I have ever had on a VW. They are also pretty good for wet traction.
