Linky don't work.... But I would imagine you are talking about the Sumitomo's? I did some research on them myself and they have pretty good traction from what I gather...

Sorry I fixed it. Thanks Redfire.

I've had them on my car for a few weeks now (275/40-18). They are pretty darn sticky, good in the rain, good traction when warm and dry, and feel pretty stable. They break loose pretty easily when it's cool outside but that's to be expected. They balanced fine, ride good, and look pretty sweet. Supposedly they wear better than the Nittos on AM but time will tell. Directional tread pattern. Overall I am extremely satisfied and would buy them again at the current price. Heck of a deal.

Thanks so much! Thats what I wanted to hear. I thought the nittos were better because of the price.

I have the Sumitomo HTRZ II's (older model) and am very satisfied with them. I purchased them from Tire Rack (cheap) and had thm shipped to preferred local installer. I've had them installed back on March of 2008 and they are over halfway worn. Since the treadwear is worn down a good bit now, the wet traction is not too great. When it's time to replace out the tires, I will most likely get the HTRZIII's.

Those are different from the ones he is talking about.... Those are HTZ II(older model), he linked to HTZIII

Ahhhh, you're right. My bad Nola. I just saw American Muscle and Sumitomo in the link. Well, if you find some HTRZ II then that's what they will look like, lol.

Jrockgts197, I thought your tire treads looked a lot like mine. LOL
