Dry snow tires

[Grant]

SP Sport A2. I just ventured to the garage.

I own(ed) all of these.  Agreed, the Dunlop SP Sport A2s are the worst 
snow tire of the bunch, but OK, and the best dry tire of the bunch.  
Wintersports are almost identical to the WRs from what I can tell.  
maybe drive a bit better.
That's my empirical data, anyway.

Note I'm *selling* WRs and yet telling you the others have merits.
