I need to replace my tires again. I'm on my forth set of the Dunlop 9000's (205/45/16's) http://www.dunloptire.com/sp9000/
and had one set of the 8000's http://www.dunloptire.com/tires/SP_8000.html
(that I didn't like) on my 97 Teg. I'm considering on getting a differnt set this time. I don't need max perfomance and perfer a tire that has a longer tread rate then the 9000 which is 280 and still have the perfomance of the 9000's. I need a high tread rate cause I put a lot miles on my car for work. Does anyone know of such a set or a test done a sevral tires from a non partial source? Please list all detail's (web sites,model #'s,why,tread rates....). Also need a tire that does good in all conditions. Beleave it or not the 9000 is a pretty good all weather tire and I live in Buffalo,NY to prove I know it is.

check these out.. I bought a set (haven't got them yet) but for 44$ a tire it's worth a shot. They were rated better than most of the other VERY expensive performance tires on that site..

 

Thank you for the reply and info on the Sumitomo HTR 200's. I did take a look and they may be a tire to look more at if they made on in the size I need (205/45/16's). The bigest HTR 200's made are the 225/70HR15. I have a set of Volk Racing 16" rims that I plan on useing and have been useing since 1997. At $48.00 per HTR 200 a tire compaired to $110.00 per 9000 tire (cheapest I can find) sounds to,ooo.oo good to be true they have the same perfomance, BUT I may be wrong.

 

MY mistake I have 205/50/16's Sorry
