Dunlop SP9000's day one...

[Josh.Hignight@phoenix.edu (Josh Hignight)]

Yeah, it should be noted that NM roads are notably bad in the rain
themselves. All the oil from the road surfaces to make a nice water/oil
slick :) having driven through some standing water on the 9000's, I can say
that they are much nicer and seem more stable through the river... I mean
puddle.

So the SP8000's really sucked in the rain... like, undriveable?  ...good to
know

Hmmm.  That's not been my experience, especially compared to the Pirelli's
P700s I had on before the SP8000s.  My Dunlops have held tight through the
winding, back roads where I live.  My only bitch with them has been that
they wear kind of quickly.  I guess that's the cost of having a softer tire.
BTW, I'm in Portland where we see a decent amount of rain.
