Sumitomos are infamous for wearing out in the center, especially if you run a tire too wide for the wheel. I have buddies with mustangs that run wider wheels and 315's out back and they ALWAYS wear down the center regardless of what pressure you run.

A couple of buddies of mine have had good luck lately with the BFGoodrich G-Force Sports and Toyo Proxes T1-R's.

i gotta go into sears tomorrow and talk to the manager.

called sumitomo customer service, they referred me to someone else, who put me on hold and transferred me who transferred me to a secretary who left me with a voicemail for the sumitomo sales rep for sears. lots of good that did, they just blamed it on me for having my tires overfilled.

bastards.

last I knew the 712's (Supras) wheren't available anymore...

THe SPT is made more like a good all season tire, the ASX is even better if you can afford it (I know TONS of people that use em on their vette's ect...and they're into auto-x)
