i have ran across a lot of great deals for these tires under 100 ....has anyone used them or know anything about them?

 

You'll get a lot of they suck, don't get them, no traction, they are crap, blah,blah,blah comments from people here......

Bottom line is if you beat the **** out of your car on the street or go to the track then these tires are not for you.

For a daily driver and just a cruiser, then they are a great for the $$$.
I put over a 1000 on my 275 40 17 fronts 315 35 17 rears Sumi's with NO complants.

If you plan on every getting on your car at all then I would avoid them. I had them on my Mach for about 1k miles and now they are on my Dad's GT. All they do is spin.

If you drive slowly all the time then get them.

 

i have sumis on my GT right now. they arent that bad. i do agree however, if you plan on going to the track, or doing a lot of racing....you may want to look else where. i have scratched 4th gear in my n/a bolt on GT wih sumis lol honestly.....i like them tho. my car has never seen the track.....even once.

 

yeah, they arent that wonderful for a serious tire, but if you just plan on driving short distance and staying off the throttle, they're not that bad. Iprolly wouldn't put them on mine though

 

I've had BFG's and Perreli's and both had horrible road noise. My Sumitimos have virtually zero road noise and have a lot of tread life. Although, from a 35 roll I can roast them if that tells you anything. And forget about from a dig and High HP. On the street they would hook alright after I got used to them but at the track i had to launch light.

 

+1 i forgot to mention how quiet of a tire they are......and they provide a smooth ride as well.

the ones i have on my car are the htr + model.

 

For the front they are OK

 

I have them on all 4 corners and am on my second set. I have full bolt ons and im very pleased with them. I dont go to the track but I do beat on my car pretty good. When these ones wear out I will definitly buy them again. just my $.02

 

i have no complaints with them..

but i highly doubt they'll have any traction if that's what you want..

I dont care what kind of traction i have on the street honestly, I have a set of MTs for the track
