Dunlop SP9000

[chassis 33]

Does anyone run Dunlop SP9000's? If so what pressures do you run them at? I'm running factory standard 15/16" rims.

I have just switched to them on the back from SO3s all round. I am running them at 24. They were initially a bit disconcerting but seem to be settling down or I am getting used to them.

Is that why you couldn't stop on Sunday !

Nah, that was me more concerned with the Merc van trying to get intimate with my front wing. Hope everything is ok?

24 front, 26 rear. Bit softer sidewall than Bridgestones. Try dropping or upping by 1 PSI at a time if you wish until you feel happy and get even treadwear.

That would explain what I've noticed driving the car then! Thanks.

Nothing like a research and development assistant to get the car sorted out Iain, keep it up

BTW don't go knackering my tyres, you a have probably done more mileage on them than me already.

I run 2psi up on book pressures on mine and that seems good. 26 rear 24 front. Ads

[jellison]

Ads - you need to clean that car!

[ads]

My tyres seem to be Ok today and they are getting a proper hiding after noth being driven for a month or so.

Wheel spin in third!!

Thanks for the advice. Just been out for a pootle with the tyres slightly higher than suggested 25/27 cold, the car feels much much better now. Thanks.
