I have to get some new tires.

In some tests it felt better than it actually was performing, but overall, Geswein noted it was "soft and imprecise" and didn't "feel like a sport tire."
taken from caranddriver.com. running these tyres about 2 weeks now and agree completely with their analysis.

I currently have SPT and still have very great things to say about it, but since the price increase I don't think I can justify it.
Considered Maxxis MA-Z1?

The MA-Z1 is not holding up on the track. The side blocks are eating away.
Take a look at the tires after 3 runs.

on a side note, im looking for 205/40/17 (OEM tyre size for my car) not interested in chinese brands and not so much a fan of DZ101 (had these- in my casr poor in the wet) or HTR2s... $3000 per single Michelin and $1800 BF a little out of my price range what suggestions you guys have, where sells them and whats the usual price range?
I've tried that SP9000 and for a high performance summer tyre, it was not at all impressive. It is better than the DZ101 (almost anything isskibz wrote:Try tyre clinic and they check for Dunlop sp9000. It's not the best but it's better than the dz101

), but the price difference between the DZ101 and the SP9000 wasn't worth it for me.
