Re: 250-mile report: Dunlop D60A2

As far as year-round tire go;be careful.  I too had good experience with 
fresh tires in my first winter with all-season tires (Goodyear G800s);
by the second winter they had worn to 1/2 tread and snow traction 
was terrible.  I have since bitten the bullet and gotten extra wheels
and a set of snow tires in a 195/65X15; the car is once again a winter
mountain goat in the hilly Pittsburgh terrain.

 I've had D60A2s on my CoupeQ for almost a year now. With 13K miles on them,
 I'm quite pleased with the tires, overall.
 
 I was going to get snows for Cleveland's winter wonderland (a near-record
 snowfall last year, BTW), but I didn't need them. The only time the tires
 cut loose in snow was when I intentionally whacked the throttle WFO. Power
 drifts are cool...
