Has anybody had any experience with the Dunlop GT Qualifier in the 255/60/15 size on the stock ('79) or other rims?. I'm looking at these at a local dealer but can't find any body with any info on these. thanks guys

Did you check out tirerack.com? They usually have reviews from people who have puchased these tires, how long they lasted, how they performed, if they will buy them agian.

I've had a couple of sets on GM rear drive coupes. The price is right but there is little traction in rain, no traction in snow, and the sidewalls are not designed for cornering. They will also wear out fairly quickly. I do have them on my vette now (PO put them on) and I have no complaints but I don't put everday driver mileage on the car and they don't see rain. I also don't corner hard so I guess it depends on how you drive yours. Do they offer the D60-A2's in your size? Its been a few years but I had these on a 300ZX and they were impossible to slide in the rain and they grabbed like mad when accelerating on dry pavement and cornered like I was on rails.

I'd trade them in a second though for a set of BF Goodrich T/A's since I think they look better!!

Let us know what you end up with!

The tires shown in my photo are the ones you are asking about. The PO put them on. These have 45K miles on them with perfect wear all the way around. They still have tread left but were getting hard.

I have since put on BFG T/A. These seem good so far, but I can't really compare old tires to new ones. There was a previous tread on tire selection, and BFG seemed to be the top rated one here. |thumb|
