The Dunlops will be a step up from the P600, but not a big
one. Angela and I put them on both of our cars a year ago, and
we are both quite disappointed. They are average tires at best.

We will both be going back to the BFGoodrich Comp T/A VR4 when
we are ready for new tires. I highly recommend these. They gave
me well over 50K on my 100Q, were great in snow and rain, and
even great on dry pavement.

I can't speak for the Yoko's.
