    Dunlop SP9000 tires aren't exemplary unless you want a good rain tire.
They exhibit this strange turn in feeling, like the car is sliding a bit.  I
gather this is from a high silica content in the tire, not sure if this is
true or not.  The SP8000 tires are supposedly much more sport oriented, but
they don't have the same tread design as the SP9000's which have long finger
like runners for water movement.  I am switching to Bridgestone Potenza
RE010 215/45's for next spring.  I'm hoping those will be a bit nicer.
