[urq] Re: Dunlop SP 9000

Here's my thought process on this question.  Tire Rack has them on CLEARANCE in size 215/50 ZR 15 for $78...I was thinking it might be good to go to the stock tire size (I've been running SP 8000 225/50 ZR 15 on 15x8s) to rid the car of tramlining, which is much better now than before....but I'm just thinking....maybe if the tires got absolute rave reviews it would be worthwhile....

i think I'm still leaning towards not getting them...So far it seems they are awesome in rain, but so-so in dry- no better than SP 8000.  Here in Denver we don't get much rain....

As a side note, you gotta love reviews that say how bad a Z-rated tire is in the snow..well jeez it's a _performance_ tire forchrisakes!!! Duhhh!!!!  ....some people.

  Can anybody supply any testimonials WRT to Dunlop SP 9000 tires for summer use?  I've had several sets of SP 8000s on the 15x8 Ronals.

  TIA
