Will these make you go......... faster?

 

When I got mine, I autocrossed the very next weekend before they were properly broken in and I didn't do so hot. I know my driving wasn't great that day but the tires just seemed to slide more than when I had my old tires (factory 15" Dunlop SP5000). It takes about 500 miles to wear away the crap they put on the tread to make them look shiny and new. Now, a few thousand miles later, they hold very well on highway exit ramps.

 

How much did you get them for? And don't forget to tell us how they handle...

 

they were 129 a piece....eewww


and bout 30 to ship..

 

 

That's not bad... considering they're 17s
I've heard good things about them Dunlop 5000s

 

Just wondering why you did not opt for the Kuhmo Supra Tires? They have been rated very well by all magazines so far. And the cost is fairly cheap at only $100 in your tire size. I got them on my car and let me tell you the traction is unbelievable in the rain with that wide channel in the middle. Handling is excellent also.

cause they are not all season tires..


they are summmer tires..

 

I gad them. I was not afraid in corners....now i have those crap eagle rsa's..They blow.

 

I have the SP5000's. When new, they were great in the wet. As they have worn (around 75% worn after 25k miles now), the wet traction has deteriorated somewhat. But that occurs with almost every tire, and even with worn tires, my SP5000's grip much much better than the stock Toyos in both dry and wet.
