Tire time - going with the Dunlops

Thanks for your advice and opinions on the tricky question of which damn tires to get. After talking with a couple of techs at Tirerack I've decided to go with the Dunlop SP 9000s. I was considering the Firestone SZ50EPs and the Bridgestone RE730s. The tech said the Bridgestones were better value than the Firestones - a cheaper price for essentially the same tire - but that the Dunlops would provide a better and quieter ride, albit with slightly less spectacular handling. Think I'll go with the 225/50/16s instead of the OEM size, though. A little wider, a little lower. Can't hurt, right?!
Cheers and thanks again.
