Re: Tire Rec. for 5kSQ?

Jon -

I followed the recommendations of some listers and got Dunlop SP4k's.
They're said to be an all-season version of the popular (and
discontinued) SP8k. They are indeed VR-rated M+S tires and they're at a
good price. I used TireRack.com's price quote at my local America's Tire
(thanks, Rocky); I believe it was $62/ea for 205/60's.

I haven't driven on them too much yet, and I don't have much to compare
them to, but I'm very happy with them. :)

205/60-15 is the stock size for these cars, by the way.
