Tires SUMITOMO or IRONMAN

SUMITOMO Tires

I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.

Pros: great in gravel, rain, snow
Cons: summer tire
Vehicle: Honda Fit

I’ve seen a lot of people in WA run Ironmans. Decent grip and decent thread wear. Solid tire for the money.

Pros: decent grip, decent wear

SUMITOMO Tires

I'm very happy with my [Sumitomo HTR Z III](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z+III), for an affordable high performance tire. It's not going to last 60k miles, but it was a lot of fun slaying the Tail of the Dragon.

Pros: affordable high performance tire
Cons: not going to last

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

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

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

Pros: price was very nice
Cons: not reliable track tire
Vehicle: Infiniti

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.

Cons: super soft sidewall, poor compound
