    Both these tires have received some reviews/recommendations and in looking them up at tirerack.com the Bridgestones got great reviews, but the Dunlop sp10 weren't listed; the Dunlop SP 20 got terrible reviews, though, so I am a bit nervous about any Dunlop.

    Thoughts?

    SP10's are an OE tire for Canada. I've got them on my 2002. Their treadwear is a bit better than the Potenza RE-92's (US OE), but the temp rating is a B vs. A. I've also noticed they're a slight bit noisier once they start to wear in, but it could simply be the high load on such a small tire too as the Potenzas weren't exactly quiet once they wore in either.

    For the money, the SP-10's were a good buy for me, and so far they're doing just fine on my wife's '02. I keep them inflated at 42/40 to help wear.
