Hi
I have just had the SP9000's fitted to my chim 205/55/15 & 225/50/16. The grip is very good so far wet and dry.

Try blackcircles.com - I got 2 new front the same size as yours for 120 delivered then £20 for fitting. Not sure about rears, but they probably do them...

Nightmare trying to get these tyres no one seems to stock the fronts.
Apprently no longer made the alternative is not made for the rears neither.
Looks like i'll have to have toyo's insurance is ok with this just checked.

205/55/15
Can't get them for love or money

I just got a pair of 225/50/15 SP9000's but thought the 205/55/15 were easier to get hold of.
Try www.tyresite.com or www.etyres.co.uk

Both had 205’s last week.

In my search I ended up talking to Dunlop who confirmed that 225/50/15 ZR Sp 9000 were remaining in production but in Japan. Currently UK stocks are all but exhausted with a fresh consignment due in 4-6 weeks.
So longer term we should be OK

I had 4 SP9000s fitted 3 weeks ago, sizes as OP mentioned - £303 fitted from www.tyretraders.com

You pick a fitting station near you and they send the tyres there.

Funnily enough, I've also had Gaz Golds fitted all around too.

You had better luck than me mate.
Gave up after all the conflicting stories i got today it's the rears that seem to be the problem not the fronts.
So having toyo's fitted tommorow instead.

BTW That was a good price if fitted.

Now had my toyo's fitted and took her out on a 150mile return trip today.
A spirted drive to say the least took it steady on the bends but the reason of the post now have no vibration i have been plagued with this for the last 2 years.
Had the wheels balanced 3 times at the same depot but now it's wicked
Speeds approching 130mph empty bypass and not for long and wheel still solid.
Flat spots on old tyres that are 4 years old?? or dodgy equipment??
Maybe i should have tried another garage instead of having faith in my round the corner depot.
CTS (derby)fitted my tyres if anyone interested.
As i say well chuffed

Be careful mate. Tyres don't start working properly until they've done 500 miles or so.
