dry- great... wet- not bad... snow- terrible... they are great for a summer highway driven car. They also wear kinda quickly.

dunlop sp a2s or bridgestone RE950s, those are the two best on tirerack for a 195 60 15 stock replacement tire.

I was looking at those them. The bridgestone's are little out my price and I am reading the reviews on the dunlops and a lot of people are not satisfied with them. And I am thinking of bumping up too a 205/55. The guy on tirerack told me that those would be ok but there really isn't much difference between those and the 195/60.

^if you want 205 55 15s and want an all-season get dunlop SP5000s. i have had them for 3 years now, i'm getting my FM901s tommorrow though cause i don't all-season tread. anyways the SP5000s are really nice, big difference from when i had D60 A2s(old version of Sp A2s).

don't take all those tirerack reviews too seriuosly, most of those people are retards. they try to replace a $150 tire with one that costs half the price on their $$$ car and then bitch that their tires suck. well, duh what did they expect. the Sp A2s are definetly better than the stock michelins. i'm getting a set for my girlfriends civic.

if you want a cheap tire that performs well for a stock replacement it's hard to beat the Sp A2.

I've had the Dunlop SP5k's....Great tire for the price. Sticky as a mother too. THen I got two 512's for the back. Had em on the back till I got my AVS ES-100's which totally kill all the other tires I've ever used.
