Strength:

quiet.

Weakness:

These tires have absolutely no grip on snow. It is a joke to suggest that they can be used during the winter. And I'm from Chicago!

I would recommend this tire only if you live in an area which gets no snow. I mean not even a flake. Otherwise, you are going to slide all over the place, even if you grew up driving in snow.

Aquatread--definitely worse.

Strength:

These tires are quiet.

Weakness:

Did not grip, did not brake, what else is there

These tires are not worth your money if you have any interest at all in performance driving. These tires are way too mushy. For a performance tire the sidewalls on these flex way too much. They are fine on the highway and do not aquaplane in the rain but do not let anyone tell you that these are performance tires.

Strength:

Good dry traction, that's it!

Weakness:

noisy, didn't balance well, terrible in snow

P205/50R15. Bought and road tested for three weeks. Good dry handling. Can't comment on wet as did not encounter it during test period. Found them significantly noiser than my OEM Goodyear GAs. Tires did not balance well and had a slight vibration at ~65 mph. I returned the tires to NTB and exchanged them (for Dunlop SP 5000) after driving them in 1-2 inches of snow ... they were terrible. Completely useless on slightly icy conditions and even lost traction in 1/2" of slush! Tirerack gives them a 4.8/10 for snow traction which seems about right. I can not recommend these tires.

Strength:

Very good traction

Weakness:

A little noiser than some but not intrusive.

Overall great tire, especially concidering the price.

Similar Products Used:

Much better traction, handling and ride than tha Michlin MXV4 that came with the car. Similar to Pirelli P600 but at a lower price and better wear.

Strength:

Very good handling. Price was right.

Weakness:

Fast wear. Handling in snow not that great.

I REALLY like these tires. My car is about ready for a new set of tires, and unless I find a better tire at a better price, I'll get 4 more of these.

When i bought my car it had some Goodyear GTs on it. They needed replacing about 10,000 miles later, and I stumbled on the Dunlops. It was like driving a new car! I drive my car pretty aggressively, and these tires have not failed me yet. I live in Chicago, and I have to take it easy when it snows. Other than that...no problems.

Model Reviewed: 1996

Strength:

The tires seemed to be fairly priced for its performance rating and tread wear.

Weakness:

The tires generated more noise relatively to Eagle GA. My set of tires warped within 7,000 miles..

The tire performance was good, but the reliability was poor (bad luck?).

Strength:

Inexpensive (relatively), handles well in dry conditions

Weakness:

Somewhat noisy, snow traction is poor, and my set will not balance correctly for the life of me. Vibrations above 65mph are constant!

Personally, with all the problems I've been having trying to get these damn things balanced, I cannot recommend them. I have them on my 96 Civic EX coupe, which is kind of light, so that might be a factor, too, but I get vibrations at 65mph+. It's worst at about 70mph.
Otherwise, they handle well in the dry, they're reasonably stable in the rain, although you don't want to drive fast in the rain with these. But the all-season rating is kind of a joke. These are horrible in the snow. Get some snow tires if you want serious snow traction. What it really comes down to is that I would not buy these tires again.

Strength:

Price, handling, dry and wet weather performance.

Weakness:

It's difficult to get 40k miles out of them, but then again, I'd rather have performance that longevity.

This is the best all around tire I've tried. Granted, it's not the best in the snow, but consider that most D60's are wide low profile tires, what do you expect!!?!? Best bet is to buy these for the warm months and get a dedicated set of winter tires for the snow.

Similar Products Used:

many others, D60A2's are the best all around tire for the price.

Model Reviewed: 1990 Beretta Gtz

Strength:

good handling, nice in corners and when warm, i can do a good 10 second brake stand and they wont squeal, just smoke and spin.

Weakness:

with out anti lock brakes, they slide in hard braking, but still no squeal, wet and snow traction isnt worth crap.

good for summer and some performance events. not for snowy and icy winters. good off the line, buy not in wet or hard braking. overall good tire, needs some help though. if your looking for nasty weather traction, dont buy this tire, if you want decent performance for a mid size car with good handling, go for it.

Similar Products Used:

dont know, had these for almost a year, but they blow away the stock tires from before
