Re: Pirelli P600 M+S vs Dunlop SP 4000

Gary:

I got a set of Dunlap SP-4000's from Tire Rack about a month ago for only
USD $61.00.  I've been pleased so far.  Had them up to 120mph...so far 8-]
without any problems.  They've got a UTQ rating of over 300, quiet (very
important to me) and excellent traction on dry pavement.  Wet traction seems
good to very good.  Can't beat the price, either.

HTH,

--Kurt
