Tires BFGoodrich or SUMITOMO

I went with the G-Force Comp-2 A/S and paid something like $703 after installation, which also included a road hazard warranty. I found a really good deal and could have gotten some alternatives even cheaper, but the tire was the highest ranked in its category on TireRack. No regrets with the purchase, as these tires significantly outperform the Continental OEMs.

The Sumitomo HTRs are pretty good. Either the A/S P02 or the Z III. The Z IIIs are a bit sportier, and the P02s are solid all seasons with a 500 treadwear rating and a W speed rating. They also grip impressively well for a set of fairly cheap all seasons.

I run 255/40-17 tires on all four corners of my Honda S2000 track day car. I wanted to be able to use those on the R, so I had Adaptec make custom adapters: 15mm thick in front, 25mm thick for the rear. On them I have a set of Hankook RS-3s 255/40-17, a set of Nitto NT01s (same size) and a set of BFG Comp 2 A/S 245/45-17 (my all season go anywhere tires used on the R as a daily driver). I am at stock ride height and none of these tires ever rub.

I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.

I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.

I have Sumitoma HTR ZIII's on my car and they work great for a street tire. I am surprised how long the rear tires are lasting.

I have a set of 205's from sumitomo on my 17x9" rear. They stretched nicely, ride good and were cheap as dirt.

I guess that's the end of my third set of Sumi HTR Z IIIs... I really like those tires for the price. And until that little scare... I ever had a clue the back tires were 1/2 slicks even in the rain.

I run KDW2s on an 8" wide wheel, which are one of the widest tires you can get in a 235. Prior to doing the fender screw mod and a very light fender rolling, I'd rub fairly often on rough pavement.

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.
