they are really a nice tire... I recommend anyone looking for buying tires take a look... i got the HRT+ for the front tires... and it has a 40k mile warrentee or some shit anyone else have any news about them, tried them, like them??

i have the htrz-II's and i like em.. nice tread design, just a little slippery off the line in the rain... but once they grab they grab good.

I have a set of the HTRZ-II on the rims of the Spyder. They are decently priced (paid around $100 for 18s), but they SUCK in rain and snow and they have terrible treadwear (really soft compound). For the price they're great, but I would not recommend them to anyone in rainy or snowy weather.

My 18" set of Nittos only cost a few dollars more, but they last much longer and have much better traction.

Just my $0.2 :)

I don't know too much about the Sumitomo's, but the Nitto's are a nice tire, except when you are turbo and try to launch at anything over 2k, I couldn't get them to stick. Too much wheels hop, broke stabalizer links. :o I'm getting the Yokahama AVS ES100. Good reveiews in the stock 16" size. I'll let you know how they hold this winter. Later.

yeah.. they are a bit touchy in rainy weather, but other than that they're pretty good considering i got them for around 85 a piece :-)

wow u guys pay alot for your tires i got my kunho tires for 68 a piece 225/45/17 for the 711 hr's

sumoitomo makes decent stuff just not HIGH quality stuff neither is kumho but hey my tires are awesome for 68$

the kuhmo's i have suck a$$. i've had them for only 1k and they are almost ready to be changed. i've been driving with them on since May and are almost gone.

in tires. you get what you pay for. that's the bottom line. sumitomo is owned by dunlop. they make good stuff in general and a good bang for the buck tire. i'd get these before kumho but that's me. after working in tires and seeing so many ruined kumho's i tend to sway against them. maybe it's the people that buy them around here.

I have the HTRZ II as well and I love them:-) Got a good eal on them too so it helped alot but..the tires are good IMO.
