Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / May 2004recommendations for 14" summer tires
Probably going to get Dunlop SP A2. Any other suggestions in price range? Thanx in advance. andy >Probably going to get Dunlop SP A2. At my auto center, we have very poor results from this tire. Very short treadlife, (10,000 - 20,000 miles), and they tend to cup, regardless if the tires are properly rotated and the vehicle is in alignment. To respond via e-mail, simply take the, "REMOVEXX" out of my return e-mail address. >Probably going to get Dunlop SP A2.

This tire might be sold under the Bridgestone brand, HP30 I think the name is. I was very unhappy with the Dunlops , performance is nothing to write home about and they seem to wear very quickly. this time around I got Yokohama avids , nice tire and the yokahama website is offering a 100.00 Marriott hotel coupon . Next step up would be Michelins but now you're talking 100. per tire. > From: "andy" <trifox13atcovaddotnet> > Organization: We [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanx in advance. > andy > Probably going to get Dunlop SP A2.

I'd steer away from the Dunlop's. Mine wore out very quickly (almost bald after 13000 kilometers), Luckily I got them replaced under warranty.

Any other suggestions in price range? My A4 1.8t quattro came with summer tires, which I didn't want, so at the start of the first winter I replaced them with SP A2s. The first set lasted about 60 000 km - could probably have pushed them a bit longer if they'd been near the end of their life in summer, but it was the start of winter and that's not the time to try to squeeze a little more mileage out of tires that are running out of tread. I did some looking around but decided to buy the same tires again - I was happy with them. But if you're asking for summer tires, why are you probably going to buy all-season tires instead?
