Default Sumitomo Tires!

Well I finally placed my tire order, after weeks of debate I went the cheap route..

Sumitomo HTR Z II's
245/40WR18 front
275/40WR18 rear

I read tons and tons of reviews and did many comparisons, this really seemed like the best route to go.. I have had Sumitomo tires in the past and I had no problems..

Any thoughts? Anyone have/had these tires?

I've had those before. They are Da $#!T, they will last forever, grip pretty good and the price is great

Did you know that Sumitomo is the father company for Falken? They are good tires. Company has been around for more than a hundred years. Good choice.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them and how much were they? I'm ordering my wheels this coming week and those are the exact sizes I plan on getting when I get tires for the. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I misread the post though. I thought they were 19". I'll have to see if they carry them in the right size.
