Tyre reviews Dunlop SP Sport 9000. Page 4 1245

Very good in tires. Lots of grip on wet and dry. Good strong sidewalls. Give a very safe feeling. No snow experience (bought them in spring and have winter tires). Good comfort, noisy bit on open asphalt and high speed. But also with other tires, so depends more on vehicles. Wear is to be clarified, although doesn't feel like tires are eaten in fast corners, so expect good mileage.

The tire is very good in wet conditions, good in dry. Braking in the wet was not so good. In the snow I never drove with these tires, absolutely no grip at all, I almost went off the road doing ok. 20 km/h and trying to make a turn - hopeless - I missed the turn completely

I had to buy new front tires after 55,000km. I bought the same model and the same brand. Now, after 65,000km my rear tires have 4.3mm to the left and start making an awful noise, like driving on railway tracks

After 55,000 km I bought new front tires, the same model and brand. Now, after 65,000 km my rear tires still have 4.5 mm on the left, but they are cupping and starting to make an awful sound, similar to driving on railway tracks

Great tires, but let down by awful tread life with tires reaching the minimum allowable tread depth at 13,500 miles through normal city and highway driving. The tires are also noisy, especially at high speeds. Unlike many tires I've used, the SP9000s can take a lot of abuse. I've been unfortunate enough to have nailed 3 out of 4 tires on multiple occasions, but in no way did any of the tires blow out (unlike Continental tires).

The best tires I've ever had on any vehicle I've owned - and I've been driving for 45 years. Had R0'S and Brigestone Potenzas on this car. These Dunlops provide similar grip on wet and dry, but better in snow and mud, significantly quieter, and best of all I actually get 24000km out of the front tires compared to 16000km with Pirellis and Brigestones - this is on a T5. Fantastic

They are great compared to my old Falken tires, I installed them today after driving 30 minutes with my old tires and right after the change, I notice more grip when braking and shorter distance. on the way down the m3 I noticed the road noise was much quieter, so big difference it made me feel awkward.

Grip felt like it's good on dry, like on wet road, which means 2 things - dry grip is average and on wet surface is above average. The size of the tread looks too big for my size of tires, which probably what undermined it, and they're forever picking up stones.

Regarding the Dunlop SP 9000, despite having the same name and tread, the German-made one proved to be better in terms of comfort than the Japanese one. I recommend paying attention to the manufacturer when purchasing this model (most likely due to a different rubber compound composition).
Ran for two seasons: What can I say - Goodyear Eagle F1 has slightly better handling, but I got used to it quickly. The tire is a bit rigid, so I don't recommend pumping it up above 2 atm. It holds the road quite well, both in the rain and in the sun. And what impressed me the most - I punctured the wheel at 170 km/h and drove another 3 kilometers to the stop - not a single hiss - I put
