I had the Dunlop's first and loved them...except they wear out rather quickly (22K in my instance, but not unheard of according to TireRack reviews). Excellent grip and handling in dry, fantastic in wet, and good traction in light snow. Once they start to wear, though, they lose a lot of their great qualities.
I now have the Conti's (have had them on approx. 10K miles), and love them just as much. Haven't seen snow yet, so we'll see. These are supposedly better than the Dunlop's (TireRack reviews). I plus-sized these (from 205/55-16 to 225/50-16).
