tire thread (yet again)

On Mon, 2 Oct 2000, Douglas Frank wanted tire info:

Mark Chang and others responded:

>Dunlop D60A2 JLB.

Wouldn't the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 for $64 or the Bridgestone 
Potenza RE930 for $60 be better choices than the Dunlop D60A2 
JLB for $51 in the M+S ("All-Season") rated performance tire 
category? Albeit, the SP5000 and RE930 are about $10 more per 
tire, but they are better tires too.

I have heard that the D60 can get "lumpy" even in the "A2 JLB" 
version. I know my older D60 tires got lumpy. 

I have not heard any bad things about the Bridgestone Potenza 
RE930 suffering tread separation like the SUV tires under recall 
right now. Mine work very well. Maybe the price will drop given 
all of the bad press Bridgestone-Firestone is getting right now.

Does anyone have any bad things to say about the SP5000 or 
RE930?
