They are an awsome tyre. Just a get as loan to buy em though. Cro can vouch fore em and so can I. I think they improve the T greatly and a great performace enhancement.

I'm not convicnced that you get much value for the extra $300 on top of the $400 of the 'cheaper' tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enuff, that's what we're interested in I s'pose. But it doesn't help any other car owner much.BUT my biggest beef is this:-their "control" tyre was the original fitment SP9000s which they bagged to the hilt throughout the testing. They particularly bagged them for wet weather performance. Then right at the end they admit that these tyres had already done 15,000 hard test km. Now I got about 28,000km from my SP9000s in 'normal" driving so it's fair to say that these tyres had definitely passed their best and were probably down to about 2 or 3 mm of tread. And they compare them to brand new tyres!!! Well duh, funny that the SP9000s didn't come out winners ... thanks Einstein what a surprise!!I'd love them to test ALL the tyres again after 15,000 hard test km.
