I just figured they were over priced rubbish, like there brother the SP9000.

When the 9000 wore out on my XR8, i replace them with the 3000 & never had a problem with them. I think they are a much better tyre than the 9000.
They are a very good wet weather tyre & have found that they don't go off as the tread start to wear down either.

Your lucky, i wish my g/f would buy thing for my car.
