is the sumitomo HTRz tires a real bad tire, i wana get 10.5s in the back so im getting 315's and sumitomo has 315-35-17 for under $100. sounds really cheap, what you think

 

From what i hear, they sound really cheap cause they are, you get what u pay for.

 

do not buy these tires I had them on my 96 and as you can see in my sig it is getting parted out. 50% worn and I hydroplaned and put into a wall at 60. These tires suck cow nuts

 

what other tire can i buy, i dont want drag tires cuz i dont wana buy tires 10,000 miles from now

 

I work for discount tire part time and if you want my opinion BFG KDW NT if your not wanting to pay that much then check into Kumho 711's

 

neither of them are 315's

 

I agree they are cheap tires and you get what you pay for, but I've had no problems with them so far (over a year) and I've driven in rain, sun, light snow. However, I have an auto and don't go to the track and don't street race, so traction is not an issue for me like it would be for some. Depends on what you're looking to get out of the tire.

 

Well im gonna give them a shot for my DD bullits, I have heard 50/50 on em and for 200 bux thats hard to beat. If I dont like em ill sell em and get another set, if i do ill keep em Im just gonna form my own opinion. Im sorry to hear about your car breaking loose, but are you 100% certain the tires were completely at fault. if you hit a puddle big enough hard enough and just right to where all the odds are against you, I doubt even rain tires off an F1 race car can save you.

 

They are cheap, but they are good enough for daily duty. I have them and they grip all righ, but they aren't the best at the track. I break them loose very easily. My best 60' on them has been a 2.197, and the worst was in the 2.6 range. If you are looking for traction, look elsewhere, but if you are just looking for a tire to get you around you'll be fine.

 

I just dumped mine for Nitto 315/35/17
Sumi's are fine for the front but suck in back for traction[:'(]
