Discontinued?!??! Grrrrrrrrrr
Discontinued?!??! Grrrrrrrrrr
Well, I just checked my voice mail. The Dunlop fm 901 has been discontinued. Andrew (tire guy), said only select sizes were available thru them (discount tire) but the size I want would have to come from Dunlop distribution. Normally, this wouldnt be a big deal. So, what else you got in x size for x dollars? I really like this tire. Lets be real clear on this: not the best tire in the world, I found it to be quite greasy for the first few hundred miles. Not the best rain tire, found myself floating a few times. Short life span, a little over 18mos. I honestly dont trust a "performance" tire with a wear rating 300 or higher. Everything I have done suspension, brakes, driving habits were formed on this tire. For the past few years I learned this tire, how it breaks loose, braking (and actually stopping!) aggressively in the rain. Long story short, what would you do? Scoop up a couple of sets worth, or move on to something else? Gonna be needing rears soon. filthyfreakingreedysonsofmotherless......

No big loss... why would you run a tire you don't like all that much??
Move on... try federal's (in the sig).

I have actually read many good things about the Federals through Aussie mags for the most part. I may just give them a shot. My dunlops should get me into the summer but I dont like waiting until the last moment for certain things. They are well priced regardless of discounting so I may just hit you up here shortly, however I may end up ordering the Circuit Sports exhaust first. Someone must have been pretty bored to dig this one up. Thanx guys.
