If you want a better tyre you need to upgrade to 18" wheels.They wear about the same as the standard dunlops, only they perform 10x better and are 10x quieter.Cheap too, about $230 a corner.

The standard dunlop sp3000a are spinning like crazy(310rwkws) I'm running 235/45 R17. The local beaurepaires dealer thought either dunlop sport maxx or goodyear f1 GSD3. both priced @ $265 ea Any thoughts would be appreciated. Double banger post Has anyone tried toyo proxes r spec?
