I have had these on my car for 1.5 months now. They are a huge upgrade from the Toyo FZ4 tires I had on it before. I disliked the Toyos from day 1.
I installed the Dunlop sp sport maxx in 205/55/16 size on my 1999 9-3SE. They are a bit smoother which is partially due to their higher sidewall. I estimate a 3% difference in speedometer readings.
Pros:
-Fantastic in the rain. With last night's 2 inches of water in just a couple of hours they were fantastic.
-Smooth in temperatures above 60 degress F
-Tracks pretty well at temps above 60 deg F and adequate tire pressure.
-Sticks to the road nicely
-Relatively quiet. I don't notice them anyway.
-They enjoy spirited driving as long as the tire pressure isn't down at 28psi.
Cons:
-When it's cold out they follow ruts on the road. It doesn't really do this when it's warm. Thank goodness!
-If the pressure is too low they follow ruts on the road. I have been keeping them at 35psi.
-Given how well they grip, they might not last long. We shall see.
