Has anyone ever heard or had any experience with tires? The dealer is trying to put a brand new set of these on the Z as part of our purchase agreement. But I 've never heard of them. They were gonna put toyos, but they were V rated and decided to go with this brand. Thanx in advance!

 

They manufacture tires under such names as Dunlop, Goodyear, and Falken.

 

REALLY!?? They kinda the same company?!?

 

My BMW came with them and I like them. wish they made them on my size for the Z.

 

I had a set of them on my GTI, and I loved them.

 

Someone told me that they were economical performance tires, lots of mixed reviews on these tires...they gotta be better then the potenzas right?

 

I've got about 10k miles on a set of Sumitomos for my Z. They are a little on the noisy side, but other than that I've had no problems or other complaints. Don't expect the big grip or handling of a high end tire. Good comfort for daily driving. If you can get the toyos, Id probably go for them instead.

 

I have them on my Z, and a few years ago I had a set on my BMW. They are really cheap but overall not a bad tire. The are on the noisy side, so if that's going to bother you, you should get something else.

 

i purchased a set(sumi) from sears a while back and the vibration over 50 mph was unbearable. i took them back the next day and replaced with Goodyears(no issues). Go with Toyo if at all possible, Sumitomo sucks.
