dunlop sp sport fm901s, best buy for the value and performance
I put the V-rated B.F. Goodrich Traction T/A's on last November, seem to be a really nice tire, excellent handling, relatively quiet ride (better than the Michelins and yokohamas) maybe not quite as crisp handling as the others, but really close, (may be I'm remembering the Michelins when the tread was worn off some, too) unless you are doing some serious racing, they work fine, not enough difference to worry about, AND they go great in the snow. It did take a few hundred miles to get them broken in good. They also have a pretty high mileage rating.

i'll agree, i used to have the Dunlops on my car and tread wear was excelent.

ya i also have the es100's mine are pretty decent tread wire. but those tires kick but on rain. maybe your alignment is just messed up and eating away at your tires.
the bf t/a's are real good. i canyon race and i use them it lasted me 6 months of driving twistys everyday. so for regular driving should last a long time.

treadwear on the dunlops is 200. i thought theyd wear out really fast when i saw that, but i guess ill reconsider getting those tires when i get my rims.
do you want a thin wal or a wide one if you dont mind a wide wall got with those bf good rich's they got 440 for tread wear
my mechanic owns a goodyear store and shop so i got a good deal on the dunlops...take corners at 70 with no screeches, great on rain, sticky and smooth. too bad cali roads and highways are horrible.
