I need to replace my tires an am looking for experienced opinions on the types I am considering. Leading candidates are:
Sumitomo HTRZ-II
Bridgestone RE-730
Falken Azenis RS (Assymetrical)
I would appreciate any feedback from those who have personal experience or know of those who have used them.

Thanx,
Daniel

I'm looking at pricing as well. Mostly in the sub-$200 range. I hear these aare best tires for the $$. And comparing prices I think these are the best 'bang for the buck' out there.

I love mine, i have gotten several friends to try them too. The price was unbelieveable I thought.

I can speak for the Sumitomo HTRZ II. I wanted to get the noisy Pirellis off the car but I didn't want to spend a fortune yet. 225/45/17 up front & 255/40/17 rear, Cup 2 rims.

The Sumitomos are great! Quiet, good grip, and excellent in the rain. The sidewall could probably be a little harder but other than that, I'm very happy with them. If you want to drive the car hard put the air pressure up on them, take it down a bit on a weekend trip with the girlfriend or wife, roadnoise is not present.

I'm running RE730's the best tire I have ever had. These things are great they handle great, stick great, and the side walls are nice and stiff just how I like them. Overall the best tire for the price.

I to run the RE730 and love the way they grip the ground. By far the best bang-for-the-buck that I have experienced.

Daniel,
I know how we love to tout products we own(I couldn't have possibly made a bad choice!) but the RE730's on my wife's A4 Avant Quattro
have yet to be broken loose in the wet or dry, and believe me, I've tried. Nice crisp turn-in. Awsome.
