I just went from Dunlop SP Sport 8000's (205/55)to wider KDW's (215/50).
So far (4 days) I think these tires have MUCH less grip on the road. Anyone have any comments? Is there a break-in period where these tires suck?
Can anyone recommend a tire pressure?

When a tire is it has oils from the manf. process. You have to give them some time to break in.

Okay, thanks guys. Do they squeal in the turns or are they "silent sliders". My Dunlop's never made any squealing in the turns even though I pushed beyond it's abilities.
Anymore tire pressure recomendation?

i have noticed that you will really have to push them to make them squeal. if they begin to squeal then you know they could break...the louder they get the closer you are to breaking them loose. i have always liked dunlops...if they are good enough for saleen s351's then they will certianly be good enough for me.
