Default New Tires
I recently purchased a set of 18” wheels from a fellow Rennlister and now I need to purchase new tires. I've done some research on the Tire Rack website and found the Sumitomo HTR Z III are getting good reviews. I won’t be tracking the car and I only drive in the spring, summer and fall. For those of you who purchased the Sumitomo’s are you happy with your decision?

There is a fairly recent and lengthy Sumitomo HTR tire thread you'll find in a search

I looked at the Sumitomos as well as the Toyo R1s....went w/ the Toyo mainly b/c they were in stock and easier to get

About two weeks on new Sumis and they are a noticeable improvement over the Pirrelis they replaced. Car feels more firmly planted to the road.

Very. Do a search for the Sumitomo thread, tons of feedback.
