Time to replace OEM RE92s on 2002 OBS. I live in Southern CA but tow OBS behind Motorhome so sometimes am driving in snow and heavy rain.

Traction in wet and light snow important, then less noise, then handling. Don't do anykind of rallying, average to fast driving.

Suggestions? thinking about Bridgestone RE950s.

Don't know if the Dunlop SP5000 are available for the stock size OBS, seems to have some good review.

I would have to agree with ya on that. Now if you really have an open wallet then try the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I am told that those are really good for everything. But once you get them, you will have a fat hole in your wallet. But I would definitely choose the RE950s as a good all around tire to replace the RE92s.

I don't know about snow, but the BFgoodrich KDWS was a great rain tire, and the S supposedly connotates snow...

Pretty good grip in the dry too...
