I'd get the sumitomos out of those two, but those tires have had bad reviews from this board. The tirerack reviews and tests though seem pretty positive.

For just about a $100 more, I'd opt for the Dunlop Sport Z1s in that size, as they should be superior to either of your choices.

those 2 tires seem to be the best bang-for-the-buck high performance tires out there. I'm debating the same 2.
My thoughts are on the Vredestein 265/35 and 295/35, both on 9.5" wide wheels (all 4 corners).

The new III series is completely different from the old II series.

I didn't have a problem with the grip, noise, or overall performance of the tire, it just wore insanely fast. For the same or little bit more money, I could have gotten a better tire.

I just bought a set of the vredesteins. I hoping for the best. Hoping they grip at least as good as my Khumos and last as long

How many miles did you get out of the sumitomos? And did you have the kuhmo MXs. How did those compare?
