Sumitomo HTR Z III Tires

Thinking about purchasing the Sumitomo HTR Z 3's for my 03 cobra, 295/30-18 & 275 35-18. Anyone have experience with these tires?

They are a pretty good tire in temps above 50 degrees. I had a set that I did 2 track days, 4 autocross events, and 5k street miles. They still looked new. Now my buddy is rocking that set on a CTS-V, and he loves them.

Thanks, i read the reviews from tirerack and of view threads so went ahead and bought them. I had Nitto NT555's on my 01 cobra and they were a very reliable tire but i wanted a bigger rear tire so i chose sumitomo.

Summis are not that good for grip hope you dont drag race.

Nittos are the way to go for the few extra dollars.

Just my 2 from experience but good luck
