Dunlop A2s..any feelings?

Looking for tires for my GLE. Dunlop A2s are cheap..but they say the wear on them are really poor. Any feelings on this?
Also what do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Well you can go to either Dunlop's site or tirerack's site and look up the wear ratings yourself. But I do believe you are correct. It's like 200. Which is horrible.

I think I will be going with the BFG Traction T/A H tires...they are 112 at NTB and have a pretty good rating on the tirerack, especially for the money.

Thanks again!!

i've had my dunlop sport A2's on my sawblade 15"s for the greater part of 3 years. i've put almost 40,000 miles on them and they still have 1/4 total tread on them. great performance in the rain, even today. decently responsive and they stick nicely on hard cornering. i can drive down a rainsoaked road at 70+mph with positive road feel. i can say i drive spirited a lot of the time even in daily commutes. great tire. if i ever had to replace these oem sized tires, i'd try BFG traction ta's. they seem like tirerack's next generation all season performance tire.
