Default Dunlop Tires

I have a chance to buy some Dunlop SP SPORT 9000 tires for the rear of my 98 coupe.(275/40R18) at a real steal. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had any experience with them and what they thought.

I used to run the SP Sport 8000's on my old '86 and loved them. I thought they were quiet, grabbed wet roads better than any other tire I had used, and I got almost 40,000 miles out of them, running pretty hard. I imagine the 9000 series is that much better. Don't hear much about these here on the Forum, but I liked Dunlop's quality and product when I used them before.
