Dunlop or Nitto Tires?
Which tires do you think are better for the price. A set of 19s (235/35 & 265/30) with an approxiamate cost of about $800
1.) Dunlop SP9000
2.) Nitto NT 555
3.) Bridgestone Potenza S0-3 (How much does a set of these run?, I don't see this size for this tire)
4.) Toyo T1-S (Never bought this size before, but I know they are expensive. Anyone know how much?)
Thanks!

Sumitomos!!!
Forget the Dunlops and forget the Nittos. Get a nice set of Sumitomos HTRZII . These tires are the best, I always isng their praises, I've had them on my 01 C320 and my 96 Twin Turbo Supra. A very serious traction tires, with little road noise and very very low price. Best tire going!!

The brigestones s03's are constantly refered to as the best tires you can possibly get. I had s03's and now I have toyo t1-s. The toyo's are really nice but they just dont stack up to the brigestones, I wouldn't get any other tire from now on.

Can you guys comment on the tire noise from these different brands? I didn't expect my Yokohama AVS ES100's to be real noisy but they are!

I switched from Bridgestone S-03s to Dunlap SP9000s because Discount Tire couldn't get the S-03s easily. Off the line, the 9000s lose traction much easier. I haven't noticed much of a difference on the road noise though. If you can afford a few bucks more, definitely get the S-03s.
