Dunlop SP9000

[Tigershark1976]

hi all, gg to change my tire soon and i'm currently looking at either GR80 or SP9000, tyre size 1t 195/50 R15. Price wise, both are almost the same and I'm wondering how about the other aspect?

 

1) Wet performance

2) Dry Performance

3) Noise Level

4) Wear rate.

 

pls commment... thanks.

frankly i feel hankook tyre is better off then these 2 choices.I know cos i tried n tested b4.Jap tyre r simply over priced n ve lower spec than equivalent kimchi

[Ew78]

hi, I thought SP9000 is replaced by SP Sport Max???

[Tigershark1976]

bro.... hankook tyre is not cheap either......

[Tigershark1976]

thats what i tot... heard that SP9000 have stop production but when i look at the production code, its new tyre leh... produced in 07, week wise cant remember liao.

[Rickyokc]

not easy to find cheap n good thing in tis world maybe good value is a better thing to look at

[Hamburger]

agreed.but do a search n u know who to ask for a gd old discount.Tat again,when u compare spec to spec,is just like comparing a 1.6L jap car to a 2.0L kimchi.

i recently got GR 80 for my firend's camry ...not bad ....grip in wet and dry is good. noise level is very good but i hear that as it has a soft sidewall, the waer rate of GR80 is bad.....it wont last as long

 

SP9000 i dunno

 

but personally for my own 17 inch, i would go for michelin PS or conti CPC 3, dunno if it has your size and fits your budget

wats your budget? got my 195/50/R15 hankook RS2 at slightly over $100 per pc only... even GR80 costs more than that already leh...

[Tigershark1976]

dunlop SP9000 can get at $85... 4 tyres = $60 or more savings compare to RS2 liao...

U might wanna consider Regal as it's Dunlop's budget brand and tread exactly same as SP9000.

I've used SP9000 with the same size and here is my comments:

 

1) wet Performance : very good

2) Dry : Not too bad too, but could be better

3) Noise : Believe me you, it is better than Yoko DB

4) Wear rate : Not sure as I've sold my car after 1 year of usage

5) Comfort : Good

 

I think the Dunlop SP9000 is from Japan. Hope that helps. Cheers!

two months ago just changed to SP sport maxx after some information gathering that SP9000 is the "older version" from Dunlop.

I heard hankook is not bad but didn't get to try due to its high price

Oh, me too changed to SP sport maxx 2 months ago from Eagle F1.

so far satisfy with its performance, is value for money

[Orixy]

so your budget is around $85 per pc?

 

let's see... ever considered BFGoodrich GForce Sport also at $85 per pc?

 

and there is Goodyear Eagle F1 if you're willing to spend slightly more.
