[s-cars] Re: Tire question

[Bill Clancy]

I like the Dunlop 5000s for all seasons.   they are W rated and handle
great.  I even drove them in heavy snow and they had great traction.
This year I switched to the V-rated Conti-extremecontacts.  They don't
handle as well, they don't have the same feel of the road.   I wish I went
with the Dunlops again.
