    Sumitomo HTR Z... Anyone run these tires?

    cheap tires are cheap tires, if its just price youre going on, youre not going to get anything very good. If youre looking for an ultra high performance summer, in the 90-125 range, stick with 225/50r16 and grab the bridgestone re01r's. They wont last long but theyre super sticky and will hold...
