I have run a couple of sets of D60A2s, and can comment here.
Albert is right. Bumping the pressure has a DRAMATIC effect on
handling, wet, dry, and snowy. I run about 38 or so, find it
works best.

But Dave was basically right. The D60A2 are an "OK" tire, not great.
When I switched two cars over to the Touring T/A, I saw a great
improvement. The Comp T/A were even better, but I can't seem to
find them any more :-(
