Dunlop SP RFT VS Continental RFT

My 08 MCS came equipped with the Dunlop SP's,well I just now had to replace after 56,200+ miles. I decided to try out the SportContact 3 SSR and so far, great.
What amazes me more,Is these tires feel like they roll much better.Not only do they seem to be less resistance,but the conti's turn in easier too.

I have to give the Conti's an A+

The Conties are 10X better than the Dunflops. I must say that after about 2k miles I think the conties have stiffened up after heat cycling. They are still a nicer ride than the Dunflops but they are now a bit rougher than they were when I installed them. Handling is still top notch as well as traction (wet and dry). Conties hands down are a great tire but I will be going with a set of Non RF my next set.
