Tires SUMITOMO or FULDA

I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.

I had Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires on my Mk5 Rabbit. They were $82 each for 225/45/17. They grip incredibly well, quiet and comfortable and were good in the wet. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I have it on pretty solid authority that Sumitomo htr z3's are essentially Michelin pilot sports as far as grip goes with 75% of the tread life magic, for roughly half the price.

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 imported my e36 from Germany and it had this max 190KM/h sticker from Fulda tires. I thought that was odd but appearantly it's a thing.

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.

Got all 4 for 250€ with almost new Fulda tires on it, that was a steal in my eyes - had to get them. They are Fondmetal 5700 in ET38, 195/50/R15.

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

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.
