They are a good everyday street tire, but not so good for spirited driving. They break loose pretty easy and are worthless at the track.

 

I got the 275s in the front and 315s in the back too. I agree with the majority here that they are great for the price for normal everyday driving but do suck when it comes to getting traction (especially in the rain/snow if it is a daily driver for you). It's hard to beat the price though.

 

for 160 go get nittos from discounttiredirect.com for 170. there drs. and if u buy the sumitomo get em at tirerack.com there 100 over there

I was looking at the same. I was just curious if it was okay for daily driving (rain/water)

 

I'd stick with 275s, anything wider without being a DR or stickey expensive tire is useless.. It looks tight but there really is no extra "contact patch" that your car can use. And cheap tires most likely dont grip too well..

I didnt expect much from my 275/40 Falkens I got for 105$ a piece, but they get me 2.00 60 foot's all night

 

so they dont hook too good?

 

Get a set of Sumis for the street.....

Get a set of Welds Prostars with E/T Streets for the track! You don't have to get the front skinnies if you don't want to.

 

with street tires i go as cheap as i can, right now i have some blue streak stilettos on the back of my car, and well, im still going just as fast as i did with bfg's...

 

I went with vredesteins. They are cheap and have 10x more traction than my sumitomos did.

 

i had the sumitomo's htr zII and i just replaced them with the nitto 555 street radials and i didnt notice much of a difference. If i had my money back i would have gone with the tomo's again.
