[s-cars] Any feedback regarding the new Dunlop SP 9000-90

[Ian Duff]

Means your car drives the way a squirrel moves, i.e. not in a straight line.
Imagine getting small, and riding on the back of a squirrel. Now transpose
that feeling to driving your car. That's "squirrelly". Kind of like the
description of an appropriate path thru Paris traffic.

I thought the SP9090 is an OEM tire- comes on
some BMWs.

Never heard of a 9000-90, doesn't really jive
with Dunlop's model designations.

The SP9000 and 9090 are very quiet tires, but they
don't have the dry grip of something like the S03 and
they feel far more squirrelly at the limit, at least
in my experience. Excellent tires in the rain and very
quiet, though. Good durability, too.

Hi,

Time has come to change my tires. I currently have Bridgestone S03
(255/40 *
17) and I am really really happy about them. The club supplier just
received the brand new Dunlop SP 9000-90 and has only good things to say
about them, in particular the noise level has been reduced. Price is
very similar with S03. Have you heard anything on this new model ?

Regards,
Frederic.
