I like the SP9000. It's great and have decent tread life. But they started to have alot of vibration when they are nearly worn. The vibration happens only at 80-83km/h.
I am looking for a set of new tires and would like to have good tread life. I have compared a few tires and I saw the Conti sport contact 2 has a treadwear rating of 280 and that's the same as SP9000. Does it mean I can get about the same mileage as my old sp9000?

Look for an old thread titled dunlop sp900 vs. bridgestone potenza so3. I experienced the same tire shake problems when my dunlops became worn. I have just over a thousand miles on the bridgestones now and they are great. Admittedly they are not as grippy as the dunlops but they still handle well enough and are supposed to last a little longer (I hope). Anyways, there is a lot of feedback on the old thread that should help you out.
