I need tires and I was thinking about getting these. I hear good reviews about them and the price looks good. I like the tread pattern too.

Dunlop SP Sport 8000

I've got Pirellis on my b5 and I love them. They're a durable tire and offer a nice smooth ride.

I had SP8000s on my 300zx at one time. They were pretty good but I got SP9000s afterward and those were excellent. I love the FK452s I have now, but the best tires I've ever had were ContiSport Contacts - those things were simply unbelievable.

Don, you need the 30s fo' sho'!

I have Bridgestone HP550 allseasons, they're ok. They were pretty good when brand new, but i didn't rotate them often enough and now they're noisy as ****. I'm gonna get on the bandwagon with everyone else: if you're planning on upgrading your wheels later this summer I'd pick up some snow tires. You can run whats on your stockers until you get new wheels, then when you put them on your car, you can swap the old all-seasons off your stockers for the snow tires. it'd be perfect!

It's good to rotate, but I think most people don't realize the importance of re-balancing. Once you start feeling a little vibration from the tires, you need to get them balanced asap before tire damage starts. My back tires are like that right now and the car sounds like a truck with huge knobby tires going down the road lol.
