I've been very pleased with Dunlop SP5000s (ultra-high performance all-season) as an all-year tire here in southeast Michigan. It is definitely a good road tire, although a bit noisy. The only car I put 4 snows on was a Volvo 850 Turbo with about 240 hp - even with traction control (not all-speed!) it was hard to drive well. Our 9-5 with a four, a Passat VR6, and a 325i are all very satisfactory with the Dunlops. This year I got Michelin Pilot XGT HVs for the 325, so we'll see how that works out. Need some more opinions? They're free!! == Ken "Firengn123" <firengn123nopsamcomnospam> wrote in message news:20020910113209.03093.00002512nopsamk.aol.com... > I appreciate all of the comments.
