I would add my 2 cents on what I found on these tires.. I have had all
3.
1) The Comp T/A(3)'s were very nice performance tires that lasted a long
time on my Q. They handled real well under most conditions. Really good
in the wet, but not standing water.
2)Dunlop D40's were a really good tire, but I had one fly apart on me at
high speeds. Kind of soft, so the wear wasnt terrific. Handled well.
3) Eagle GA's Junk. Dont spend the money. Good braking, but its the only
tire I ever had that I could spin all 4 tires with a 115 HP quattro on
the dry! Not a great handler, would break away in a corner before it
would 'let you know' Unless they were hot, (which is rare in CT in the
winter).
My vote: Yokohama U+4. The best all around tire I ever had. but they dont
make the size for the 15" coupes! :-(
Just my two cents.... hope it helps.
