I too have the dunlop a2s, I think that they're good enough. I never hear mine over the wheel bearing noise Seriously I was surprised how much quieter they were over the Pep boys Futura brand. The traction improved drastically after getting them, but I think that it has gone downhill fast after about 4000 miles to the point of being actually pretty mediocre and worse than the Pep Boys Futuras near the end. They also wear very fast. I haven't been gentle to these, but I also haven't taken the car to the autocross like I did with the previous ones. After about 20,000 miles I need to go and buy some more soon.
