Anyone have Dunlop SP Sport A2's
 
Just curious if anyone is running these and if they are having any issues with them.

Used to have them on a '93 Prelude and they were very good.

Yes i had them and they suck...
I had them on my ride for about 10,000 miles and they were bald as ****...
My friend also bought them for his ride and he didn't even get 10,000 miles outa them...

Had them on a 95 Infiniti and a 2001 Camry, and they were fine. Grippy and held well in the turns. You say you wore yours out in 10K miles, maybe what you thought was a "squeel" was actually a scream for mercy.

I had a set on my '87 and now have them on my '96. Excellent tire for the money.

I have SP Sport W10's (similar) on my car now and they're great wet or dry but are pretty bald and need to be replaced. Gonna put a new set of SP Sport A2's on hopefully in 2 weeks. :)

I am having issues w/vibrations at high speed. Dealer and tech says these tires are rated @ H and are not sufficient for the Max. I am not sure, but they are going to cost me a lot of money regardless. I would think twice.

What is considered sufficient, then? H rated tires are good for speeds up to 130. How often do people travel there? Have they tried balancing them?

I've had my 99 5spd north of 130 :nervous: and there was no vibration. I will NOT do that again though. Stupid rear beam was making the back-end twitchy. Tires were fine though. Vibration could mean alignment issues, not that the tires suck.

I think 3.5 SE's came with V-rated, 3.5 GXE/GLE with H-rated, but I forget.
