Default Impressions on Dunlop SP5000's

For the most part I am satisfied with their performance in all kinds of weather, but they seem to follow even slight grooves, etc. in the pavement giving them a tendency to wander. I have to make frequent steering corrections whereas the OEM Continentals tracked straight as an arrow. I've put about 6k miles on them so far. Anyone else experience this?

Default Difference between performance and family car tires...

The carcass is much stiffer than the Conti's, very similar to the 8000/8080. Within a given profile (55) they design the carcass for the application.
