Andrew,
  I have a set of Dunlop D60 A2's on one car and a set of B.F.G. Comp T/A's
on the other car. I have used neither tire in the snow for any length of
time. Both tires handle rain well. The Dunlops seem to be more firm in
corners, but it may be because they are mounted on 7" wheels instead of 6"
wheels. The cost of the Dunlops was about $10 - $15 per tire less than Comp
T/A's. I will be buying Dunlops in the future instead of Comp T/A.
