I have the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetricals.... Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Thu, 12 Jun 2003 10:07:00 In Reply to: Tire advice?

on my 1998 900SET in 205/55-16 and they work very well. Being all season there is a trade off between pure performance and some snow ability. But they are comfortable, handle very well, and perform wonders in the wet and light snow.
Be aware that there are two different tread styles in the Dunlop SP Sport 5000. Tire sizes with aspect ratios of 55 or lower are available in an asymmetrical tread, like mine. Aspectic ratios of 60 or higher use a symmetrical tread, which has generally similar scores in dry and wet but lower in snow traction according to the Tirerack.
