i just received them from tire rack! woohoo! haven't put them on ... will so tomorrow morning! these are damn expensive tires!!!! will post my first impressions once i get them installed!

 

Please do!

 

well, tires look cool! no noise from them either....my previous tires were sp8000s and they were really quiet too (when comparing to my Toyo FZ4s & OEM michelins)

no rain here yet.... so i don't know about rain perf. I'll take the car for a slightly more aggressive drive when i go home tonight...and i'll post again!

 

damn, i had the SP9000's on my Integra when i bought my old Enkie 17" wheels. they were $175/ea and lasted about 5-6 months with bad camber. i love those tires, but ive recently moved outta the house and im on my own and cant see spending $175 on one tire. thats almost 2-kuhmo tires! :D

the grip is a awesome, even in the wet they stop on a dime. if it snows though BEWARE! :D

 

When trying to see how sticky they are... instead of only trying acceleration and turning... try slamming on the brakes... if the surface is dry, and the tires are THAT sticky... ABS shouldn't even engage.

Vazquez <--- Who was amazed when he's ridden in cars with RE730s on an autox, and the car DIDN'T need ABS.

 

the good thing about SP9000's is that they have a 280 tread rating so you are not buying new tires every 2-3 months. yet they are VERY quiet and grip really well! and if you slam on the brakes hard enough, ABS is going to engage no matter what tire you are sporting! :D

 

ok...i'm about to drive home now :D

just to let you guys know....i've never had my ABS come on before (i hope it works ...heh heh....knock on wood) but i will try that....
