I happened to notice that Discount tire has the Dunlop 225/50/16 size on sale for $85. I do not believe these are the E that come on the Audi Sport package - but I would expect similar performace.

Tirerack has them for the same price...I just bought a new set of<br>225/50zr/16's for $340...

I have the same size at $85.00 as well. This is NOT the Sport 8000E.<p>The E stands for "Enhanced", which is similar to the SP8000, but it has silica in the compound for better wet traction & also the rain grooves just a bit wider also.<p>They are comparable tires in their handling, but the E does give it better wet performance you will see.
