Default Dunlop 9000 sports any good?

it seems that many people are having a hard time getting the S0-3 in a 19" fitment, and TOYOs are much more expensive.

I found Dunlop 9000 sports in 19" that would work, seem to have a higher treadwear life and good traction characteristics.

Are these tires any good?

anyone able to find a weight on theM??

SP 9000's are amazing tires. I had them on my MR2 and my friend has them on his NSX... Those are probably the tires I'll be going with.... Excellent in the rain.....

I had those on my '96 TTZ. They were great. Quiet. Great rain and shine tire. I know of many who hate Dunlop's but I was very happy with them.

Default I almost bought them!

But when you read the Comments on them on the TIRE RACK site,...9 out of 10 of em Hated them!!!

and Thats what made me not buy them,..they are priced Great Tread pattern looked nice-exactly what I would have liked to Spend on tires---but hear they aren't so good,...but I've never owned them so I can't be for sure,...but read the comments on their site--tell pretty much what you wanna hear IMO!

I got *** raped by Bridgestone!!! S0-3"s we're a **** Load!

but they said its probably the #1 or #2 tire out of about 20 brands!
I'm sure I'll love em,..but would have rather Bought Kumho's!!!(only one size 19" and no size for the rear's!)

dubbed the "BEST BANG for your $BUCK$"

know a few peeps that have em,..and they love em along w/ the comments page as well on them!

I wouldn't say they're very good tires for the track.

I remember you being one of the few on twinturbo.net that could back me up on that selection.

I've had them before and liked them BUT I feel they have been overtaken by the other guys. Toyo T1-S and Bridgestone SO-3 are better choices.
