anybody else have dunlop sp 9000 sport tires? do you find them loud? i have the 17's, 225/45ZR and they are noticeably louder than my pirelli P6's, even at like,30 mph, actually they get quiet at 70+, maybe other noises take over... just curious, other than that, they are great,

Not nosier than PZero Nero, and less tramlining, but hard to keep balanced. Super rain tire!

Other way around for me...

P6's by mid life were much louder even than my M2 snow tires in same width. Dunlop 9000's--my car came w/ these new in 255/40-17--were much quieter and smoother running. P6's got the heave ho for P Zero Nero M+S, which are also much quieter and smoother running.

I run 235/45/17 Dunlops and find them quite good! Great in the wet and no noises at all!

Not the GREATEST but very good for my type of everyday driving. Holding up very well too - over 30Ks and no real signs of wearing down. I run 36 psi. and check them about once every two weeks and no problems at all. I do alot of hwy. driving and like taking the ramps quickly - no track days etc...
