I will need to replace my OEM tires soon and I have narrowed it down to two kinds, so now I'm looking for some opinions .....

205/50/15 (on stock rims)
Dunlop SP5000
Dunlop A2s

I need an all season tire as I live in NY, but would like to keep as much performance as possible.

These will be going on my Turbo GSR.

 

get a set of khumo supra's or a set of yokohama avs intermediates

 

Bridgestone Potenza S03s. They are great in the rain.

You are going to hate those dunlops if you have a turbo! Talk about zero traction!

 

Bridgestone S-03's.. im not sure if their still on sale or not at tirerack.com.. my friend told me last week they were around $80/each in stock size..

 

im rollin dunlop sp sport 8000 and would recomend them to anyone. 205/50/15 on stock gsr 5spokes... im really happy w/em .. just my .02

Thanks for the replys.... I'm really looking for a tire that can see some snow, I dont thing the S-03s can handle that!?!

Are the 8000's an all-season tire?

 

Dunlop D60A2s are USELESS in the snow & ice. I know from personal experience.

 

I think that is a diff. tire than the Dunlop SP A2s

 

I have been running a set of 205/50/15 Dunlop Sport A2's for 3 months now and find them to be an excellent tire. Good handling in wet and light snow and great in dry. Better than the Dunlop Sp4000's I was using.

 

I would go for the SP Sport 5000's. I had the older model (4000), and they did a very decent job in the snow. Traction in the dry was good if not excellent. No worries in the rain either. All around, it was a great tire. I'm sure the 5000's are as good if not better than the 4000's.

If I were you, I'd use a seperate set of wheels for winter and summer. Get a high performance tire such as those mentioned and get the most out of that turbo!
