Is snowing like crazy now I guess I'll be sliding my way home....

 

If the snow is anything like it was here in DC, it "blizzarded" for like 5 minutes, and 5 minutes later it had all melted. I too worried about my evening commute for a little bit.

 

Dang. you guys switched to your summers already?

 

well, of course we have our summers on... after all, it's been 70 degrees for the past two weeks... wierd...

 

Uh, I've been running "summers" all winter long.

 

Doh. I'll give you guys a double for that

 

Dunlop SP Sport 5000: first all-season tire I've owned in 9 years. Phenomenal snow traction for a tire with decent dry performance.
I also just discovered the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S today, those look real nice.

 

You like the SP Sport 5000s, huh?

I haven't been too impressed with them, but maybe that's because they are 245s (don't know what size you are running, but probably skinnier). But I guess I don't really have anything to compare them to (on my current car), either, other than some really poo pooy potenzas .

 

For daily commuting in the DC metro area, they are more than adequate. For higher performance situations, they aren't my first pick.

 

IMHO the SP Sport 5000s are a great street tire. They were the best "ultra high performance all-season" tire I could get in my size (205/55-15). Naturally the sipes and small tread blocks give them really mushy transient response, but that doesn't mater since I have summer treads for track days.

 

I just grabbed a set of SP5000s and they are on my R right now. Haven't driven it yet but I will let everyone know as soon as I do.

 

Runnin' around on A032R's here... if it snows, I'll just park the truck out front.. No commute for me!! hehe... (I'm a Snap On Dealer)

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR BUSINESS, DAN??? Be your own boss my ***!

 

snow? what's that?

 

Ah yes...I was referring to thier performance in the snow, I should have clarified.

No they aren't my first pick for high performance situations either (and on my car, when I'm driving, daily commuting IS a high performance situation...maybe no 10/10ths, but you know what I mean).

 

Yeah no kidding I'm still sun burnt from 2 days at the Rolex!!!


hehe It's good to live in Florida.

 

With the weather being so warm and we are running a winter series every two weeks I decided to break in my tires a bit more
