I would say Dunlop SP9000's but there are load of threads about this on the site - do a search under tyres and see what you come up with mate.... :)

I've got the Dunlop 9000's and rate them. They are quite quiet and hard wearing - I've just had to change 2 tyres and I've done nearly 30,000 miles in the car.

Here in Italy dunlop SP are cheaper than Bridgestone S03 or michelin Sport.... good tire?

[ifraz]

I've got Dunlop SP9000 and I'm well pleased with them. :D

I've got some dodgy Malaysian tyres called Silverstone - I thought they would be cr*p as they were cheaper than the Goodyears i got last time - but they seem fine at the mo.

They are a directional design.

Had two new fronts put on the other day! Went for Goodyear F1's! I must say that they are fantastic, directional tyres, awesome in the wet and the look the nuts too!!

I've 4 eagle F1 in my golf GTI... they're great but the side is too much smoth... Bridgestone were good in traction and the side was better... i think...

Yoko's AVS Sports on mine no complaints so far

[yemgi]

I have 4 Yokohama A520 (215/45-17) on my IS, absolutely no noise, goo grip ever on wet :)

Used to have Dunlop SP9000 (195/40-16) on my Pug 405, these are very very goo tyres

Also tried Toyo Proxes T1-S (205/45-16) on the Pug, excellent on dry, good on wet, fastly used

Last ones I put on my 405 were Pirelli P7000 (215/35-18), good tyres what ever the road is.

I would take the "Pirelli Pzero Rosso" I have it on my IS200 they are great!!! They do not make noises and the grib on the road is perfekt :D

[IS200lexdreamer]

Here in Italy i've never seen Dunlop SP 9000 but Toyo proxes and GY Eagle F1... and also Pirelli Pzero rosso....

I like 4 tire with good grip and no making noise!!! B)

I think Evo Magazine just rated the Goodyear Eagles as the best high performance tyre. I don't have a copy, not sure how they tested this, or how valid it is. Maybe someone could scan it?

Also have a look at:

17" Tyre rating spreadsheet

it's a sheet I did a while ago base on a set of tyre tests from some german site.

[IS200lexdreamer]

Very good Dive....

But i don't understand....

high score = well

or not????

[IS200lexdreamer]

OK....

i understand....

1= best

6= worst

[Div]

What's not clear with those ratings is whether they take the cost into effect. I mean I've never really heard of anyone running Uniroyals, let alone raving about them - so I'm a bit dubious as to whether they're as good as they appear to be using their ratings - there are some serious tyre's out there that's they've wiped the floor with (if you combine all the categories).

I'd be interested to know if anyone's got experience of them - I guess they're probably bigger elsewhere in Europe?

Div.

[IS200lexdreamer]

Yes Div....

Here in Italy i've never seen Uniroyals.... But i know Yokohama ar bad tires (especially A539)... i change that in 2 weeks becuase my car was whorse than with 4 Bridgestone RE720 with 20k km....

I've always heard that Michelin Pilot Primacy are very good tires (better than pilot sport) and looking the test i've seen that is true!!!!

I think i'll buy 4 new pilot primacy or GY Eagle F1 or Dunlop Sp9000 or Bridgestone S03 for my new lexus....

Here in Italy Dunlop Sp2000 are very cheap.... GY eagle F1, Bridgestone S03 PP, Michelin Primacy, Dunlop SP9000 have the same price....

P.S.

Pirelli Pzero Rosso aren't in the test.... and i think is the better high performance tire u can buy....

But they are too expensive.....
