Default Dunlop Sport A2 vs. GoodYear Eagle LS

Finally had to replace my stock Eagle LS tires, with 60K mi on them. I liked these tires, they handled well and were good in the snow, until they wore right down.

Problem is I couldn't afford a new set of Eagle LS, so I had to go with Dunlop Sport A2, which came very recommended, even by other Audi drivers. As soon as I installed these the handling became loose and hasn't gotten better since.

Anyone have the same experience with the Dunlops? I wish I'd spent the extra $$$ and bought the Eagles again. That will learn me.

The A2 are supposedly new and a great all-around all-season tire, plus cheap... get what you pay for

Default ECSTA VS A2

I have A2s on my porsche and they are very nice and they are in my opinion an excellent tire. #2 in their group on tirerack. I have the #3 Kumho ECSTA 716 on my A4 and they are also very good.
