Author	Topic: Dunlop vs Yokohama performance tires
Scott unregistered	posted August 28, 2001 09:48 PM I have to replace the tires on a 3000GT I recently purchased and was considering two all season performance tires - Yokohama Avid V4 vs the Dunlop Sport 5000. While the Yoko is a little cheaper and has a better wear life, the Dunlop is rated (Tirerack) much better in the snow. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either or both of these tires. I would appreciate any comments. IP: Logged
binarystatic unregistered	posted August 31, 2001 09:18 AM I don't have any experiences with the Yokahama tires, but I have had the Dunlop SP 5000's on my 96 Probe GT for 14 months now in Central Illinois (harsh winters and extreme seasons). I love them, much better in rain and snow than the stock Goodyear VR50's were and no noticable difference on dry pavement. Plus the Dunlop's are really good looking tires. IP: Logged
Wolf unregistered	posted September 10, 2001 04:55 PM I have a set of the Avid V4 on my Supercharged Regal and I really like them. I have used them in light snow, rain and light ice conditions and they performed much better than the stock Goodyears. I haven't had any problems with them anywhere I have been. I have about 21,000 miles on them and I think I'll get about 45K on them. The only slight issue I have with them is they will squeal a little under very hard cornering. IP: Logged
