Haven't seen it yet, but it does remind me of one of the things that I'm dissappointed with my 8 is that it came with Dunlops. I swore a while back that I'd never buy Dunlops again, but not much of a choise when thats what come with the car

Mine came with the Dunlops in March of '04.
I was told, now this was the service dept. manager, and we know how smart they are, that the reason they started using the Dunlops, was because the supply of the Potenzas at the time was not able to keep up with the demand for them. I thought it sounded crazy, but those tires were not bad. I got 21k out of them.

i have dunlops and I seem to be getting good milage out of them. I drive pretty hard and typically get about 7k miles on a set of "Z" rated tires. Im @ 7k now and have plenty of tread left. Plus, they don't handle bad at all - and I've had all kinds of tires mind you. Put it this way, I'd have to become a better driver to appreciate a better tire.

Hmm. In poking around my dealer, I noticed that lots of other cars wear the Potenzas, such as the 350Z, but they have a higher ratio (245/40) than ours. And my dad's new SC 430 had a similar Bridgestone/Dunlop swap.
