They came in yesterday! they are really light compared to my 17" BBS'! i'm working this weekend, and my ray's lug nuts haven't come in yet, but as soon as i can, i will take pictures

 

Exactly what is the weight of each rim with the tire (include your tire type and size)... If I remember correctly, the 17" Volks are about 15lbs. / piece!

 

i'll have to go out and buy a scale(don't have one), but your right, they are light! they are the same weight as the 17" TE37, hence the *37* number. i purchased a set of 215/40/17 dunlop sp9000's b/c i couldn't afford the s-03's or pilots after getting the rims.

 

email me about the SP9000s at dunreit@***.rr.com

i've been using them for almost 3 years, and i'll tell you all about them... their pros and cons... overall, i'm happy with them, but seriously, there are some things you should know about (ie SP9000s in colder conditions)....

 

i didn't know that the sp9000's have been out for three years? anyhow, you got mail!

 

Well, I might as well post a few things so that everyone can see my experiences with SP9000s. But first, the positive qualities:

1) Superb handling
2) great rain traction
3) and dry traction
4) predictability

but the bad things:

SP9000s are not a rubber compound, they are a silicone compound. as a result:

1) silicone compounds have lesser gripping properties in colder temperatures
2) SP9000s should not be attempted in the snow

So, I hope you are in a warmer climate... but during the winter season, you will notice a decrease in your gripping properties (noticeably your static kinetic friction variable)... If you drive aggressively, you'll probably only yield about 15K out of the tires...

Now, don't get my wrong, these tires are great, especially for the money. They have extrememly stable and stiff sidewalls...

So, let me know what you think... I live in Northern VA, just south of DC, so my climate may be different from you... either way good luck and enjoy... IMO, these are the best tires for the money, I just wanted to warn you of a few things since I had my first accident last winter since my SP9000s refused to grip the asphalt in a minor snow shower...
