Default Anything bad to say about the Dunlop SP5000?
I live in LA and go to Mammoth every weekend during the winter. I am thinking of getting the SP5000's and have found fairly positive info about them in the archives but just wanted to see if anyone has anything bad to say about them.

Also, can anyone recommend a better all-season tire?

Will the dry/wet performance be significantly worse than the SP8000's?

Default Pretty much the top overall choice.
I have drivien & tested them in everything- wet, dry, snow, and they remain the top pick.

I have not recieved one complaint yet about them,so I 'd be interested to hear too.

Thanks
Eddie

Default I've read a few reviews that say the sidewall is too soft and the tires are "squishy".
But perhaps that's compared to a high performance tire.
