I was wondering the same thing. Searched but could not find any info on the boards. Figured I would resurrect this thread and see if anyone has some input. Just bought a set to replace my worn SP9000's. Looks like a good tire and from what I hear sticks to the ground very well.

I'm curious too. I was looking at those, but got Cooper Zeon Sport A/S, since I couldn't find any info.

Well if no one else posts any info I will let you know my opinion when I get them on the Z. I got 19x9.5 rear and the size I bought them in was 275/35/19.

Well I just got my new tires mounted and balanced today. Got a chance to take the Z out for some testing afterward. I must say these tires are very sticky compared to the SP9000 and stockers I had previously. Road noise decreased which was a plus and cornering is excellent. My only concern is how long they will last. One thing I did notice was that during interstate driving I heard a slight humming noise at higher speeds, it might have been due to the weather out, my info meter indicated icy. Since these tires are not made for these types of conditions it might have something to do with it. If it gets warmer out 2morrow ill go out for another run and state my results. So far I am very happy with them If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

i have them, they're great. really sticky compared to stock, but then again, stock tires aren't the greatest. so far, they've worn out relatively quickly, but i'm running a lot of negative camber. here in VA, the winters get pretty cold and the traction decreases as well, i'd say these are only good in the summer as i find myself losing traction pretty often although not horribly. out of 10, these tires get a 7.

Sorry for the delay but I have had a very busy past couple of weeks. I have been able to get some runs in warmer climate and let me tell you these tires are sticky. Every time I take off I hear all the little stones hitting the fender well. Cornering is also great, I could break the back end loose with my SP9000's easily but with the SP01's due to their tread design it just doesn't happen. Also the humming that I experienced previously is gone, I believe it was due to the cold weather. Cant wait to take the Z back out to the Dragon and put them through a real test along with my new NISMO suspension it should be an awesome experience.
