About the recent comments on the Dunlop D60A2....I can't agree thaqt they are bad. I have a set on my 1983 280ZXT right now and they are a very good tire for "assertive"driving, and I also use them for auto-x'ing, as I'm not rich enough to buy separate tires and wheels. I have no complaints about the D60A2 at all. I will note in fairness that my past experience with Dunlops on THIS 280 ZXT - which is highly sensitive to tire balance and to seams in road surfaces - suggests that the Dunlops mightl be retired before the tread bars hit ground, as they tend to get lumpy late in life. I heartily agree that the original tires on many Audi's (let's say, those with a brand name startring with the letters "G-O-O-D"..) are inferior. My 1990 200 came with Good.... GA's on it and they were lousy. harsh ride, inexcusably poor wet traction, not spectacular dry traction. The BFG Comp T/A H-series tires I replaced them with were superior in ALL conditions and much smoother riding. The Yokohama AVS-V rated tires not on the 200 are even smoother, perhaps not as aggressive on the dry, but INCREDIBLE for wet surface traction. I oncet' had an 84 5KT which came with Good...'s on it and they also were crap. I replaced those with an earlier series BFG and was very happy with them. ******************************************************* Al Powell Voice: 409/845-2807 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
