Subject: Re: What tires for '99 9-3?


Can't tell you about Yokohamas; but for my .02 worth, I'd suggest either Dunlop SP5000/SP8000s or the new Toyo Proxes 4s. I had the Dunlop SP8000s on my '01 9-3SE; absolutely lovely tires, superb handling, very soft compound (probably would've stuck the wall); but, very short lived (darn compound!). After the SP8000's I've been on a set of Toyo Proxes 4s (+/- 2500 miles so far); they're especially stable at "top speeds"; have been reassuring in the wet; not too noisy; and handling has been fine for "spirited" corners/driving. Additionally, you may be able to get a good deal as Toyo is in the midst of an aggressive USA promotion (they're trying for mainstream marketshare; though they seem to be popular with the boy-racer/tuner crowd). -- J.Harris '01 9-3SE '97 900SE '88 9000T (R.I.P.) > So, what tires I should go for?
