The Dunlop SP Sport A2's are what I use for summer tires on my
Integra, though in the 205/50/15 variety (+1 size). I am very
satisfied with them, they perform very well in both wet and dry (wet
being particularly notable!), and is an excellent bang for the buck.

As for snow performance, I have another set of proper snow tires
(Kumho KW11's in a narrower 175/65/14) to tackle our Canadian
winters... well, if you consider what Toronto gets really a "winter"
;-) ... so I can't really comment too much on the snow performance
from the Dunlops. But from what I've heard they are one of the top
"all season" tires to use in the winter.

Parking those is a bitch and the fuel consumption (you don't put
"economy" and "eight gallons per mile" in the same sentence); however,
traffic jams will be a thing of the past. Just drive right on through.

If you can drive right on through a traffic jam why would parking be a
bitch? Can't argue about the fuel consumption!

Great for offroad driving and you always get the right of way at STOP signs.
