[quote name='Rudy' date='Apr 14 2005, 06:41 AM']I think the old tires said the same thing.? "Dunlop SP Sport 01 * DSST" is on both the old and the new tires.? I there is an updated design, it may be identifiable through some of the codes printed down by the rim, I imagine...

The 93 is the load index (1443 pounds/650 kilograms) and the Y is the speed rating 186mph/300kph).
The 95W translates to a load index of 1521 pounds/690 kilograms and a speed rating of 168mph/270kph.
My new fronts have a 93W and my new rears have a 95W (both tires have a W speed rating.)
Here's a link to the Tire Rack's explanation of the load index and speed ratings:
