Hey i just ordered some DD wheels and 315x35R17 sumitomo's to go with them. Do any of you guys run these and how do you like them? How is the treadwear?

 

They are good for daily driving... Some road noise, but nothing too bad... Had them on since Nov. and havn't really noticed very much wear... If you wanted to hook up with these tires, forget about it.

 

That is why I plan on taking off my MT DR's and putting some sumitomos 245/45 on the rear

im tired of sticky tires that i have to worry about wearing down,

sumitomos should be more fun if you ask me

 

I've had them on my daily driver since September with no complaints. Got about 7000 miles on them... tread wear seems fine.

 

Going from THE stickiest street tire in 275 width to hard 245 tires? You're retarded...lol. Why not find a nice happy medium. Nitto 555's (non-drs) in 275 were just perfect for me.

 

because hard stock sized tires are only 70 dollars a piece, and i have NO money,, especially after paying for the next school section and not having a job still

should happen soon though (the job that is)

just think, dumping the clutch with the MT yields NO spin, even when they arent heated up,, just think what dumping the clutch around 4K with these sumitomos is gonna do ........ :-)

 

Maybe you have no money b/c you buy stuff just to destroy it

 

Sumitomos suck...come to think of it they are fun sometimes

 

actually, it would be quite the opposite of destroying

everyone says MT will be GONE in 3-4K miles, ive got about 4K on mine and showing nearly no tread wear at all.. that is one of the reasons i want to get off of them, is because of that issue

i figure i can just save the good rubber for when i run into a bit more money, i can buy some cheapo 17x8's for the track and be happy all the time (especially anytime i pull up to a stop light or sign)

 

I have them on my Cobra, hard tread, lots of road noise and I have no idea how they perform in the rain or on damp roads.
