+1 sumitomo htr zIII's not the stickiest tires out there but for under $300 for the pair of 275/40/18 mounted/balanced, cant find much better than these, great for daily, tried them on the track hold up decent could user stickier but overall for the price not bad at all.
Anyone local to socal hit up tire central 626-227-0150 they have some amazing prices on all brands of tires.

Tested them at ZdayZ and was impressed and they're only $99 - $104 a pop.

in what size?

was quoted 208/each installed for 295/35/18. I think the cheapest I have seen them in that size was around 185 (without shipping or install). I think I would rather pay another 50/tire and get a set of KDW BFG's.

Nitto 555 = poor tread life on my wife's G & really bad road noise. Kumho SPT's have lasted much longer on the G and the Z and were much quieter than Nittos and stockers on both cars.
