BTW, what does everyone think about the Dunlop SP series tire? From what I've seen the Dunlop SP2000, 9000, and 220 are the most common OEM tires for top of the line BMWs Mercedes Lexus and Audi vehicles. That has to say something about their ride and road noise, right?
Also, what about the Michelin X-one? It's a brand new tire but apparently Michelin is pretty proud of it. THEY say it's very quiet and soft-riding, plus it has very good wet traction ratings. But I have a hard time believing that a tire designed to last 80,000-120,000 miles could possibly ride all that smooth or quiet.

The Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position is the highest rated tire by consumers on that website...that says something.
