Tires SUMITOMO or GOODRIDGE

I have been using the Sumitomo HTR A/S P02s for the last 80k (just go 3rd set on front) as a good compromise in price and quality.

I had a good experience with Sumitomo htr a/s p02.

245/40R-18 Sumitomo HTR A/S P02 on Motegi Racing Mr140

running 40psi, when i go to the track, i keep it at about 38 and check and let out hot air as i go each lap, ill go from 35 to 50*f after a few laps so i always am messing with air. 205/40ZR-17 SUMITOMO HTR Z II 17x8 Axis OG Europa SDC

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.

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

The Goodrides on the cheap M3 I bought gripped like greased plastic in the snow.

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.
