Default Well for an all season...

The AVS Sports are NOT all season!

If you want to go with an UHP AS tire then the Dunlop SP 5000 would be the way to go. Call me to discuss further!

Thanks!
Eddie

1. Learn - 2. Buy. :-) I've heard only very positive things about the SP5000s

Default One negative...

My wife has them on her 1.8t Avant in 225/50-16 and I don't like how numb they feel. Turn in is really slow. They are quiet, and have decent wet and dry grip though.

Okay, one negative, but I wonder if it would have felt different with 205/55 size instead of 225
