I'm just about to cross over the 40,000 mile mark on my Holden...and it's only now time for new tires.
These Dunlop SP Sport FM901 245/40ZR18s are nothing short of phenomenal. I drive my car pretty hard and would have thought thatat least the rear tires would have been long ago made bald and toasty...but if I wanted to, I bet I could get another 5k miles out these. I don't want to, BTW, but I bet it wouldn't be an issue.
They are OK in the rain (hey, they are sport / performance tires) and just awesome grippy on the dry. I have never rotated them- every time I recommend they do so, I was told "there's no reason to." So- shrug.
They look cool too.
I wanted some snazzy Goodyear F1 D-types, but I realize that I'd be a fool not to pick up another set of the same Dunlops again.
So...consider the Dunlop SP Sport FM901 245/40ZR18s as officially long-term test approved!

Dang Grouch, I dont see how you did it. 350hp and 40K on a single set of tires. You sir must have self diciplines that would rival a Vulcan. You managed 34,000 more miles than I did. :cool
The launch is pretty sprightly, ride quality is very good for a performance car. I've heard people complain about road noise but it doesn't sound any louder inside that it does in my buddy's '05 with OEM meats on it.
Lateral grip, wet and dry, is damned impressive. These aren't all that great in the high-speed wet, however, as they have a tendency to hydroplane when hitting puddles at speed or cruising in driving rain.
Remember that most of my drive is high-speed freeway stuff, so your mileage may vary. I've smoked the tires a few times (of course) but I try to avouid it....drag racing is definitely not my cup o' Starbucks.
I have a non matching numbers 1970 400 gto and I’m wondering if anyone has fitted a shaker scoop off of a 1970 trans am to one before and does the hood cut out take out the ram air scoops at all? Ok I guess that no one on here wants to answer a legit question from Australia
I have lost my key to my 2004 GTO, I have a new blank key & fob, but every locksmith I have talked to “can’t find the code”. I purchased it used so I never had the card with all the codes, who can I go to to get them or where can I find them? Thanks in advance.
I've heard that you can disassemble the driver's seat belt re-tractor after it has fired, and reset it to get rid of the check light on the dash. Anyone ever done this? My 05 has been rebuilt after an accident with a fence on a test drive.
Hello everyone!
I have a 1968 Pontiac GTO with a blown head gasket. The intake manifold is a 6 pack
I like your opinion if I should change it back to the single intake manifold with a 4 bbl carb?
I mean it's nice to have a 6 pack but I need all that power. I need to know what I should do.

Checking to make sure your BCM wiring harness is not chafing:
If one removes the glove box, the BCM is visible behind and up to the left under the dash. Behind the glove box once it's removed you will see a metal bracket that runs parallel to the dash with a notch cut out on the right side...
