Default Tire review, dunlop sp sport 9000 nice tires!~

<center><img src="http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/dunlop/du_sp_sport_9000_ci2_l.jpg"></center><p>got a set of these for a bottle absynthe. took them out for their first test drive last night, and to blow off some steam.

Awesome tires, low noise , sticky as hell for a 38degree night. Hit two off camber right hand turns on my favorite road that had some snow melt puddling and they didnt lose grip at all.

Default I hate Dunlop.

Two sidewall failures (yes, I do regularly check tire pressure, and they didn't fail due to running low pressures) and one that tossed a big chunk of tread one day.

D60M2's IIRC. And they weren't cheap, AIR.

When three different sets have big failures, you begin to wonder...

I'm not straying from Kumho, now. They have been great tires, and they are really nicely priced.

Default I had those and didn't like them...

Spent the extra dough and get S03's after them and they are WAY better. Sidewalls on the 9000's were pretty soft.
