Dunlop tires: Sp 5000 OR Sp A2???
Anyone have any recommendations? i have the SP 5000's now and it's time for new tires. I have been happy with the sp 5000 b/c it was so much better than the RSA's i had. The A2 has better specs than the 5000 and are cheaper. What to get?

Also depends what size you want to get the tires in... I don't think the A2s are available in 225/50/16, i have the stock 215/55/16 size.

I just went from W-10's to Sport 5000's and I like them. They didn't make the sport A2's in my size, 235-45-17, but from what I have heard they are decent all seasons. But if you want a little more performance, the go with the sport 5000's. They are quiet and they handle very well in wet and dry.

I definitely liked the SP 5000s A LOT BETTER. The SP5000s were quieter and MUCH BETTER in the SNOW. If I had the choice, I wouldn't go with the Sport A2s!

Depends where you live too, if your in an area where all-season tires come in handy then the SP A2's are for you, but if weather is not an issue, then go with the SP5000's. I myself will be getting the A2's in the near future once the RSA's need replacing. I had the old style D60 A2's on my Stanza before I got my Max, and that was a great tire, the new SP A2's are supposed to be the next generation improved version of that tire.
