I've got the SP5000's on my car, and D60A2JLB on the wife's. For the
original poster, who said he drove "like your grandpa", I think the D60A2
is a great tire. I haven't heard but good things from listers, and bought
them on recommendation from a lister.  But honestly, them's all good
tahrs, anyway.  The SP5000's seem a little "greasy" in the wet, more so
than I like, but it just might be age on them.

So far, no lumpiness on the wife's. And she has had 'em since Feb.

                               Guess which has occurred.
