I've READ good things about them but I have never seen them for sale anywhere.

I went with BFG's...

My cousin has some Dunlop DRs for his hatch and tried my set of BFG's once, he said he was quite impressed with how they hook up. Of course he wouldn't admit that the BFG's hooked better, but i could tell by his facial expression.

I'm biased b/c i own a set of BFG's but i know it all depends on what you like.

from what I heard last year, (dont hlod me to this, this is what I was told)

the dunlop name is what goodyear chose to use for the sport compact guys...
so basically, they are re-named goodyear tires.

I guess they thought we could relate better to the dunlop name.. ?!?
