Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on tires and struts. My Max is a stock 96 GLE. I'm looking to keep the same ride/performance when it was new. I was looking at KYB GR-2s and Dunlop D60A2s. Does this seem like a good combo or not? Also, I heard the D60A2s were replaced by the SP Sport A2s, is this true, and if so have you heard anything about these new tires?

SC, the RE730s are excellent tires. They are more performance oriented over the 950s so don't expect as long tire life. The 300ZX guys use the 730s due to the good price, excellent grip, and decent tire life.

That is a pretty good price on the 950. How much do you sell the 730 for in 225/45/17 or can you get it?

I have a 95GLE...I have exactly what you are considering...orig 15" wheels/Dunlop D60A2-205/60R15
This is my second set. I really like them. Even better than the first set. Much quieter than the first set. Something must have changed in the composition of the tire for it to be so much quieter than the first set. Also if my memory serves me correctly, this set is now rated AA for traction. Consumer Reports rated these tires very High.

Tampa95GLE,
A friend has a 95SE with the D60s and he swears by them. I appreciate everyones advice but I would like to keep the price as low as possible. The D60s are affordable. Dunlop is now seeling the D60s replacement: SP Sport A2. Have you heard anything about thes tires? I probably go with them and the KYB GR-2 struts.
