I'm going to show my ignorance. It's time for me to get tires and about a year and a half ago I decided to go 2 by 2. That is buy 2 new ones for the rear and move the old ones forward. That method seems to be working well for me I'm still getting great handling and I didn't waste tire life. Now to the question.

Does anyone understand the difference between the SP01, 3000A, or 5000A models of the DSST. When I got the previous tires I thought Dunlop only had one flavor. Is it just a case of vanilla, French vanilla, and vanilla bean here.

3000A/5000A, All season, high performance
9000/SP01, Summer only, ultra high performance

 

THANKS

 

The Tire Rack classifies the 9000 as a Max Performance tire and the rest of these Dunlop tires as Ultra High Performance. The 5000A is an All-Season tire and the rest are Summer tires.

 

SP9000DSST's are just as crappy. i know from experience.

 

What tire size were you considering?

Runflats or non runflats?

Replace all four?

Are you interested in summer or all season tires?

As far as replacement tires go, these are not high on the list of notable tires.

Some are OEM stock tires.
