Tires SUMITOMO or LASSA

The Sumitomo HTR Z III gets a lot of crap for being cheapbut performance is a very solid performer

I had Falken 512s on a Miata and I hated them. Very noisy at and before the limit. For Foxes, I've always gone with 185/60/14s. Not any real reason. It was the stock size for the Rabbit GTI and it doesn't throw the speedo off too much, which doesn't really matter on a Fox. The profile also looks natural; the sidewall isn't too short or too tall. And the 185 width isn't too wide; not a bad thing on a car that has no power steering. But you should be fine with any similar size. On my current Fox, I have these Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s. I like them a lot. They're a great all around tire. Very quiet, wonderful in the rain, rides nicely and handle well. I'd like a little more dry grip, but, really for a street tire these are great. I had these BF Goodriches on the Fox I sold last summer. They were noisier than the Sumitomos and the steering feel felt a touch heavier, but they were also a nice all around tire and perhaps a bit grippier than the Sumitomos or at least they gave that impression.

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.

I have the 185/60-13's and the sidewall is super flimsy as well. I couldn't complain on the price though!

I'm running Sumitomo HTRZ-2's. Loved them for the first 10,000 miles and now I hate them.
