Has anyone tried the Dunlop SP 9090?
Is it good in the wet? What's the wear rating like?

My rear tyres for the 18x9 is almost worn. I will need some new tyres in the next couple of thousand km It's good in a way because I never like my current Falken...big mistake
I need something sticky to cope with my little project but last a little while because I use my car daily.

I heard that the new Dunlop 9090 is really good. It's currently used by Porsche and AMG on their 18" option. Is this true? Has anyone used the 9090 or 9000 series?

What's a good price for a pair of 265/35/18 in the Dunlop SP9090 or SP 9000?

My other option is SO3 or Toyo RA11. I heard a few good and bad things about these but still not very certain. Could some owner please give some feedbacks on these.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't think that is the case. Porsches come with either Continental ContiSport2, Michelin Pilot Sport or Pirelli P-Zero Rosso depending on the size. The new GT3 comes with Michelin Pilot Sport2 tyres.

AMGs come fitted with Continental ContiSport2 as far as I know. Though, dependig on the size I think they do for the Michelin Pilot Sport sometimes as well.

That is at least what I'm aware of.
