Tires SUMITOMO or Sava

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.

the summitomo HTR-200 are a relatively decent tire. They are super cheap and come in several sizes that would work for you.

I just got 4 Sumitomo HTR Z III's and they were super cheap, 300 treadwear rating, pretty sweet tread pattern, and reinforced sidewall, all for $107 a piece from TireRack, pretty reasonable. There's almost no road noise and they grip pretty well, I just hope they last!

My experience is that they balance just fine but yes, they do have a thin (2 ply nylon?) sidewall, which is why I inflate them to 51 PSI as per manufacturer's spec and they do great! This is a diesel Jetta so the fastest I've driven them at a constant speed was about 80mph from central Connecticut to midcoast Maine. I also drove the Jetta from Maine to Seattle 2 summers ago with over a thousand pounds of "stuff" in and on the car. They behaved just fine and did excellent in the horrible rainstorms I encountered in Illinois.

Had them on the Jetta for 2 years now. Great summer tire for general use. Don't expect it to handle sporty or go anywhere in the snow. But they do have a very low rolling resistance and will reward you with better mileage.

I've got them on my Miata. I'm happy with them.

I was in a tire shop at lunch and was introduced to Sava, a company recently bought by Goodyear. The guy told me that the quality is excellent. They seemed to be pretty well built from touch/feel of them.

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.
