Tires SUMITOMO or GT Radial

SUMITOMO Tires

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.

Pros: good price, good quality
Mileage: 128747 km

GT Radial Tires

We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.

Pros: wore like iron, communicated well
Cons: off pace, down in grip
Vehicle: Honda Civic

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.

Pros: good in wet, snow
Vehicle: Mazda

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.

Pros: grip incredibly well, quiet
Vehicle: Volkswagen

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.

Pros: sidewalls are OK
Cons: break loose easily, poor cornering
