Hairy green toads from Mars made John Naitove say:

I've used the Dunlop D60A2s before, and they were pretty competent.
However, I've decided I *much* prefer the BFGoodrich Touring T/A HR4.
They are very similar, the BFG's are just a wee bit better at everything.
My '95 A6QA wore them (wears them still with the new owner), so did my
'89 100Q and my wife's '90 90Q20V.

They are about the same price, and a little better in the treadwear
department. Also, the snow/rain handling was MUCH improved over the
Dunlops, if that's important (I'm in NH, so it is).
