I previously had a post and got a bunch of reccomdations for Dunlop tires. Sp5000 were most but some SP6000 and a noticed one guy has 8000? Differences, prices? Looking for 15" rims is the widest size the best? Also I live in MD and get the occasional foot or two of snow...am I gonan eb stuck in with those tires bumming ride from 4WD friends?
thanks,
PJ

tires

I can't remember all the Dunlop names anymore. I would definately get one that is snow rated. The D60A2 is a high performance all season tire. I'm on my second set and am very happy.

As for size, I recommend the 215/60 HR15's. They look the best on the Maxima. the 205's are too small and the 225's are too big and have too much sidewall. If you want to see what they look like, check my site.

If you need all season, go with either

Dunlop SP5000 or Dunlop D60A2.

The SP5000's are Z-rated the D60A2's are H-rated.

I have the SP5000's now and they are great. I used to Bridgestone RE930 and they were even better! So, if you need H-rated, go with D60A2 or RE930. If you want Z-rated, go with SP5000.


I don't think Dunlop makes SP6000 yet, and SP8000's aren't all season.
