cbass Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Dont they have a treadwear rating # on the sidewall? Tires need to have a load and speed rating... treadwear is usually on the sticker. For winter, get a cheap generic snow tire, unless you live in extreme conditions. Adjusting your driving style to the conditions will do more for you than spending $100 extra on a set of tires. You can have the most accurate gun in the world, but if you don't know how to aim it, you're not a sniper. Having something slightly above average, and knowledge on how to use what you have is going to suit you better than throwing good money after bad at equipment. As for dry handling, I use 185's and 205's on my neon... might not sound like much, but for street driving, I can corner well more than adequite. 3pt1lumina can attest to that. (and he's only ridden in the car on the 185's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 They have a load rating and a speed rating and a max PSI. It does not have a treadwear. Treadwear is normally on the side wall, but Im guessing since this is a studless snow tire, it doesnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 3pt1lumina, how long has your friend had those on his car, like miles? and Im guess he drives it with those tires on when its warm out too? Because I got those tires today, and they seem ratehr soft rubber. This one guy I was gonna buy them from was like dont drive them when its warm out, the tread will just disappear, it wears that fast........ sorry it took me long to get back.. he runs them from November til April doing about 7500k per season on them. I believe his have ~30k on them and they're still in relatively decent shape. Maybe 9/32 left. they should have a treadwear rating near the DOT code i believe... did you check both sides of the tires?... my bet is if not, then it's on the inside where you can't see it.

dakiln Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 The last set of Dunlop's that I bought were excellent in any conditions. But I have always had luck with all of the tires that I bought (went through many sets delivering pizza) I personally thought that the Dunlop's wore the best.
