Reviews of SUMITOMO tires

I have them on my 86. The sidewalls are OK, not great. They do leave something to be desired as far as cornering, as they seem to break loose with little warning.

Had them on the Jetta for 2 years now. Great summer tire for general use. Don't expect it to handle sporty or go anywhere in the snow. But they do have a very low rolling resistance and will reward you with better mileage.

I had the HTR+ a few years back...wouldn't recommend it for someone who is looking for a reliable track tire or a super performance tire...but I was quite surprised how well it did for everyday driving and the occasional spirited lapse in judgement...LOL...price was very nice too

Compared to my Winterforce snows that are now year round tires, the handling is great! They do feel a little soft and the last ones I had were very slippery until the wear bars but around that point they got pretty sticky! Plus they were dirt cheap and my last ones lasted forever!

I have the 185/60-13's and the sidewall is super flimsy as well. I couldn't complain on the price though!

they are actually very poor tires. the sidewall is super soft an the compound is far from ideal. i ran these in maybe two autox's an they were just plain sad.

I've got them on my Miata. I'm happy with them.

those sumitomos are a good deal but i put those on my wifes passat wagon in april and all them ****s is hopping now. its like they are 'almost' shifted belts.

I have directional Sumitomo HTR-Z II tires and I don't have a single complaint after almost 6 months. Very quiet, great grip, great wear rating, and very good wet traction.

I'm running Sumitomo HTRZ-2's. Loved them for the first 10,000 miles and now I hate them.
