Any Experience with Dunlop SP20's

Trying to decide on a tire for the 100. I have considered the Gillette's, Kumho's, etc. Now I understand that it is possible to get a hold of some Dunlop SP20 tires in the right size. I have read terrible reviews of tread life and wet road holding. But I am not too concerned about either of these. I do like that it is a British make tire, even though it is now owned by Goodyear.

Any experience with these as an option on the Healey?
 
I currently have 2 sets of Dunlop tires and have had no problems with them. They are 165SR15. I'm pretty sure the one set is the SP20's and the other I think is an SP4 or 5. When I have time I'll look to see exactly what they are. I like the fact that they are the same name as some of the originals. The only problem with them is that it is a pretty tight squeeze into the spare tire space. They must be just a hair wider than the original. I bought these several years ago and heard they weren't available anymore. Glad to hear they are around again.
