RE: Great Tires
I just got a pair of Yoko A 509's on the front of my Coupe Q and they are like glue in the wet, dry or sleazy salt that we have here at the moment. Guess what I am gonna be buying when the rears wher out.

I just replaced a set of MXV4's with a set of Dunlop SP5000's all season. In
the past I have also run a set of BFG Comp T/A ZR4's.
The difference in dry and wet traction between the Mich's
(worn 50%) and the 5000's has been amazing. I bought on the the
recommendation of the local tire dealer over the Yok's and the other all
season tires I had been considering. Not cheap at $129 ea. but I did see
later that you could get them at Tire Discounters on the web for $101 ea.
(225/50 ZR16).
