Tires Pirelli or SUMITOMO

Old BMW Alpinas w/ 175/50/13 Sumitomos

enkei 92's wrapped in sumitomo 175/50/13's :beer: i miss the damn pos already

175/60 but they have better traction and ride better than the sumitomos to me. I love them and couldn't be happier.

We've switched to Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s. They're pretty good in the snow, believe it or not, and they're quiet and comfortable without giving up too much in handling. Very impressed so far.

My new favorite cheap-o all-seasons are the Sumitomo HTR high-performance all-seasons. Quiet, good dry grip, comfortable, cheap.

I run the sumitomo 215/50s but I got a 185/60 for a spre so it fits under the rear mat.

the summitomo HTR-200 are a relatively decent tire. They are super cheap and come in several sizes that would work for you.

The Pirelli PZero Nero M&S is a ULTRA PERFORMANCE tire [one step down from the MAX PERFORMANCE] and is an all-season tire, which is a compromise in handling compared to the Kumho MX's.

I agree with the above poster; the Pirellis were less then impressive. Im at the end of the life of my 2nd set and have gotten 36K out of the 1st and 31K out of the second. They have cupped horribly, and consequently they are noisy as hell.

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.
