Yousef, Thanks for the info. Interesting that Mitsu has decided to change their tire for 09 from Yokohama to Dunlop assuming this is true for world wide delivery. If true, the performance characteristics as a result of the change in tire company are:
(1) changed from a "Ultra high performance" to a "Maximum performance tire" which means Mitsu was after an "unsurpassed [as opposed to "outstanding"=Ultra high] blend of wet and dry " traction according to tire rack i.e., better all around summer tire
(2) However, speed rating went down from Y (186mph) to W (168mph) but maintained the same max load rating of 93
(3) UTQG rating (wear rating: lower number means poor wear and vise versa) was elevated from 180AA to 200AA; perhaps little wear difference.
Bottom Line: I do not know how significant the reduction in speed rating is on performance other than at flat out speed the Yoko a13c should be safer than the new Dunlop 600. The tracktion may be better based on classification but the UTQG is going in the wrong direction although slightly. The good news is that the Dunlop costs $123 per tire less than the Yoko a13c. So it appears for normal use the new tires have a better or ,at worst , an equivalent blend of wet and dry traction at a cost reduction of ~$500 for a set of four tires.

i dont care about warranty!! worst scenario SST gone? i'll replace it with manual
I got the Evo for fun and how am i going to have fun with stock evo??
they did not say anything about the exhaust and bov when i did my 5k service!! im sure they noticed!!
HKS SSQV is amazing.. the sound is WOW..!! i got mine for 1700aed
the only thing i HATE about the Evo X is its WEAK lunch from 0 if your not using the unofficial launch control...
oh and another thing!!! the sound system!! it sucks! anyway i rarly turn it on
I enjoy the BOV and exhaust sound more...

why is that they offered heated seats in middle east while in the US they haven't. Canadians were offered as well plus the sunroof. I guess poor mitsu US marketing pick....

ofcourse its weak if the rpm is not above 2.5k when the turbo kicks in... thats why launch control at 5200k was made... try it, it will change your world
