Default Sumitomo HTR Z II

Worst Tires I have ever had. I am now a firm believer of, "You get what you pay for." I bought these tires b/c I needed tires and didn't feel like spending an arm and a leg. Worst mistake ever. Now, the tires are in no means in great condition. Only after 6000 miles the rear tires look like rubberbands. Scary bad. And the fronts look brand new. You might say its RWD, I know but still 6000k miles

So I drive a good 25-30 miles at a blistering 35 mph sliding all over the road. Worst experience I have ever had in any car.

I am not even pissed about the tires in the rain. I am pissed at how short they lasted. The car does sit may 3-4 days a week. SO I think roughly 6000-7500 miles. Not worth 684 IMO.

New motto, "I would rather spend 1200 than waste 600." esp. on tires.

Don't buy and look for my review on tirerack. I will be writing the company and even tirerack for these poor quality tires. My car is lowered on HKS coils and camber is all set to stock. To tell the truth the car is higher than a stock z

Thanks guys/gals for your time. Flame on

oo yea. I read the reviews and everything. I needed tires pretty bad. And I was a little short on cash. I will never ever waste money on tires again.
