I'd appreciate opinions on some tires and how they compare to SP8000 including:

Sumitomo HTRZ (160AA)
Pirelli P700-Z (140AA)
Bridgestone Potenza RE71 (140AA)
' ' Comp T/A ZR (220AA)

Thanks very much for any input and if there's any others I should consider...

This spring I bought a set of Bridgestone RE71s for my 87 Audi Quattro. I have been pleased with these tires. They are fairly quiet, okay in the rain and have very good dry pavement handling characteristics. They are also relatively inexpensive too.

I previously purchased a set of Continental CZ 91s, and loved these tires, but they don't make these tires in my size any more.

I also looked into the Dunlop 8000s but these too did not come in my size. I may purchase a set of these for my wife's car this spring, though, and would appreciate any feedback you could offer. Thanks.
