Hi all,
I am looking into some 15" wheels for my E28 - they're the flattish-looking
15" ers from the E32 735i. They have reasonably decent looking (at least as
far as treadwear goes) 225/60/15 Dunlop D60A2 tires on them.
What's the news on this tire? I have this subconscious inkling that they
are NOT very well regarded, but can't remember details. Can anyone refresh
my memory or provide some more informative tidbits?
Many thanks,
Aaron

==================================================

Some folks like them, some folks don't.  I personally think you get a strong
dollar to performance value with the D60's.  Had them on an '88 Acura
Integra, this is my second set on the 318.  Great dry traction, I would
guess very good wet traction, I say guess 'cuz I've learned to be extra
careful in the rain, so I never get close to their limits.  Low noise,
although I've found if you plan to rotate them, rotate them every 3-5
thousand miles, or else there's potential for excess road noise to emanate
from them.  Long treadwear.  Overall, I say a good tire for the street.
