Default Here are some testamonials for the SP9000

From what I have read they don't handle at the limit as well as some others, but they are still considered to be "max performance" tires. It depends on your priorities. The review explains a lot.

Here is a link to the Table of Contents for their test reviews:

Default Got them

Not bad have the 225 40 18 on bbs rc's on my car have about 15k on them.....typically highway driving with some aggressive driving on the weekend. Can't complain...price was good at the time so I went for them. Had good experience with other Dunlop tires on BMW so I went with these. (D40M2's) Great in wet....and dry. Still probably have 10k left on them. took them off for the winter...I was told I am not that aggressive on them thats why they are lasting..its late....my sentences are not complete....I would probably try something different the next time....maybe the AVS sports...newer technology. No real comparison with the RE040's because I took them off when one bubbled....
