I've had sp8000's before, but not on this car. Being that they were totally
different cars, I'd have to say that the 9000's are a LITTLE (itty bitty)
bit less grippy than the 8K's (could be tire pressure, I've got the 9K's at
36 right now. May go down to 34 or up to 38). BUT, I am totally satisfied so
far (it's only been a day remember). Granted, if it was even remotely moist
outside, I wouldn't even consider driving on the 8K's, whereas the 9K's look
like they will do fine (for a performance tire that is) in the wet.

And yes, the 9K's are on the front. Rear one's coming in 2 weeks.

sweet dude!

did you mention before that you've had sp8000's?  If so how do they compare?
are 9000's on the front?


Thanks,
Matt
