I can tell you that these tires (my stock size is 195/60 so there is even 
more speedo error) are freaking incredible.  They just plain stick.  When 
i first got my car back with the new suspension, i had some old tires on 
there, well, when i put these dunlops on there, the car was like a new 
car...handling was simply better in every respect and i feel that these 
tires have saved my life at least once cause i was able to come to a stop 
alot faster than i would have before withoutlocking the tires when 
someone was coming at me in my lane on a 2 lane road...he missed me by 
less than 5 feet because i could stop better....thank god...i love these 
tires and will never own another make until someone can prove to me that 
there are better ones out there...

later...
