I have 30 days left before the weather permits me to change my tires. I have done research on several brands and have narrowed the choices to these:

Looking for comments, USER comments, and best prices, ( or what you paid)

#1 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSST RunFlat, Why? becauce i can remove my spare tire, ( less weight) and the air pressure monitoring system is really cool. Plus i love the wite-up on the tire. Very $$$$$

# 2 the same tire only SPSport 9000 no run flat... less $$$$, still need the spare tire,

# 3 Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetrical

# 4 Michelin Pilot Sport

All the tires are 225/55/16 on stock 99 SE Limited Rims..

I have had more Pirelli's p4000, p5000, p6000 , scorpions ( different cars) then you can count, they were alwayse great in dry weather, but in the cold rain they sucked..


Any User comments would be great...

Going to get the prices today, will post them later..

I have the SP5000's in 235/45/17 size and they are excellent. Dry traction is very good and the grip is amazingly progressive, so you always feel in control, even at the tire's limits. Wet traction is pretty good too.

The best feature of the SP5000's is the noise level. It is so quiet, even at highway speeds. In fact, you will discover how much wind noise Maximas actually generate, since the tire drone will be gone.

Thanks for the comment. I think the best bang for my buck will be the SP 5000's. Will let you know the price difference later today..
