Well, I attempted a little bit of research on the Sport tires. Dunlop nor Tirerack had a mileage rating on them. Dunlop mileage rating was N/A. That makes me wonder if these tires are only meant to get like 30-35k out of them. Anyone know???
I have 32k on the Dunlops now and I just pumped them up to 60psi. I tested them out on the way home from the gas station which was about 6 miles and it was raining. I noticed no handling or breaking differences or decreases. If any it MAY have improved around corners. And when I say corners I do not slow down and try to take them at 30mph where I know I can get away with it - conserve the fuel
. I expected sliding in the rain but none was noted.
Here are some pictures of the tries at 60psi and 32k on them:
I do not notice any bulging of the middle of the tire which was my major concern. The drive to work tomorrow will be the true test.
