Are SP9000's no more in a 195/45R13 Tricky? Stuckey's only has one left...are they still making them?


Yes, from all accounts they still are.

Although, they still have to be imported direct from Japan. I can try and contact Dunlop Australia rep and get the good oil if you like!

They can't be that bad can they???


No they're not all bad, just wait until it rains. :shock:

I think mine have gotten worse over time. Either that or i've gotten a heavier right foot.

I just got four Bridgestone 145/70/12's.
I was lucky they had them on the shelf. Was also offered Federal tyres as well for 10 bucks cheaper.

Like I expected, they won't set the world alight..

Mind you, this doesn't help your plight, but I found that Bridgestone seem to keep more tyres on the shelf cos they are mainly supplying only one brand.

Like all tyres they get hard with age, and they're hard to begin with. A hard tyre grips less.
I actually found that they arent too bad when its raining very heavily, but up until that point
(including dry, cold days) they seemed to slide around a bit, particularly the lighter
arse end of the car.
