Put new 16inch wheels and dunlop tires! WOOOWWW

Today finally i got my new Dunlop tires, damn they look so nice and agressive almost same as some nitto tires which I saw at shop today.

Put those new wheels/tires on my maxima. Did standard balancing/alighntment. Car feels so good now, more stable and responsive, and the most importantly when I park my car in the basement no more scratching of bottom of my car when i drive into basement parking.

Which Dunlops did you get? I have the Sport A2's on my factory winter rims and love them. I had better times at the track w/ them than my Falkens. It's just fun to say Falken, even if it's in your head.

Cooler, W-10's are NOT all-season tires. Please do not attempt to use these in snow.

yeah they were like 102 bux per tire with free shipping, too high price for me. Maybe next time when I will have my job again, right now unemployeed, which sucks. W-10 were 69 bux with free shipping, which was in my budget range.

Okay, Tire Rack has them listed in a different category and I don't see an M+S rating on them anyhwere, but you're right, snow the past few years has been a joke.

Dunlop is a very good tire. I have SP-5000 ultra-high performance all-season, love 'em.

I got the same tires 7 months ago from the tirerack.com @ 80 each. They are not all season tires. They are considered summer tires. I drove with them in the winter. Bad idea. horrible in snow. great tread pattern. better then my stock rs-a. They should be better since the weather is getting warmer.
