Sumitomo is a good inexpensive tire, I love Kumhos.

Agreed but I'm also gonna throw out federal's super steel series I run the 595 in the back and 535 in the front and the tires are good and cheap and look mean if that matters to you I think I paid 94 a piece for the rear And 86 a price for the fronts both installed prices too

what size?

as Ryan said, sumi's are decent, but treadwear SUCKS.

nitto 555's are great, not that bad. also, BFG KDW's are damn good.

My buddy with the KB GT said his SUmi's wouldn;t wear out at all. He drove the hell out of them, they just weren't sticky.

The last set I bought were Goodyear Eagle Response Edge, they are a good compromise between dry and wet performance. Assuming this is a daily driver.

If not, then depending on your budget I would say Eagle F1's

I have Kumho Escta Platinums, they site perfect and have a sleek look to them, my toyos that came on there looks stupid...
