Potenza RE730 noisier than Dunlop SP8000

[Brendan/Coolian]

The summer tire of choice for me is the Dunlop SP8000.
Sullivan Tire (2 streets over) can get them for 92 a piece mounted, 
balanced with road hazard (30,000 miles)....Forget about sending away for 
tires, getting a flat and being $hit out of luck.
