What do you mean they suck?

I won the Auto-X in Tucson '02 (RT meet #3) with those tires... Must be the driver ;^)

(j/k)

The Dunlops are a great street tire, non performance, high mileage/long wear tire. If you want a long lasting tire, and aren't into racing/fast starts-- they are good.

Otherwise, the Kumhos711s are a steal pricewise-- and you could go through 2 sets of them for about the price of 1 set of the the other brands.

I am on Scorchers now (so far so good)-- much better traction than the Dunlops-- a little better than the RSAs (I've run 4 sets of RSAs over 3 trucks, and 1 set of Dunlops).

I got the 'blue stripe' scorcher-- would have rather got the all black version-- but these were nearly free, so I couldn't pass it up.

Next tire will be Kumho711s here.

I just put some Goodyear Eagle GT II's on. I like white raised letter tires and these are the only ones I could find. Had to go with 255-60-17. They look kick ass.
