Look Ma! Dunlops stick to kids!

Okay...So after finally getting around to getting new tires on to my car I'm kicking myself in the ass for not having done sooner! Gotta love hindsight. I went with Dunlop SP 8000s 205/50ZR15s. Dear god what a night and day difference over the stock rubber. How can Honda get away with selling such POS tires on the Integra?

The Dunlops rock.

Just watch out for when they break loose, you don't get much warning.

Hours of research led me to the Pirelli P7000s primarily because of very consistent reviews of how predictable they were in terms of breaking loose and generally very good marks in the other departments on issues concerning the behavior of street tires, particularly in the wet. Biggest minus to the 7000s is treadwear. They go away pretty fast. Dunlops were high on my contender list, but since I don't drive around at 9/10ths very much, I went for tires that don't let go too abruptly so I wouldn't get caught off guard. Anything is better than those stupid silicone laden MXVs, and you'll notice that the car doesn't shock the s**t out of you when you get out of it the way it used to - a welcome change.
I guess the point - after all that ramble - is that the Dunlops have a reputation for sticking like glue right up to the limit in a corner but smart drivers dare not test that limit without a big, clear runoff area to spin into.

Love my Dunlop 8000s... great tires and like you said night and day compared to the stock michelins. I did the +2 (17") conversion about 30K ago and the tires still perform real well. It's amazing.

Might go to Dunlop 9000's if these tires ever call it quits. I'll keep 'ya posted.
