Tires Toyo or SUMITOMO

BMW road force balanced them and they were perfect... my savings were about $750 after getting them to do the balancing.

I bought [Toyo Observe GSi5](http://www.toyotires.ca/tire/pattern/observe-gsi5) for my car, I've no problems with them after three winters, driven country roads without slippage either.

I have Sumitoma HTR ZIII's on my car and they work great for a street tire. I am surprised how long the rear tires are lasting.

I have a set of 205's from sumitomo on my 17x9" rear. They stretched nicely, ride good and were cheap as dirt.

I guess that's the end of my third set of Sumi HTR Z IIIs... I really like those tires for the price. And until that little scare... I ever had a clue the back tires were 1/2 slicks even in the rain.

I wanted a cool looking and well working tire. Read several reviews and decided to go a mid-way in price/performance depending on weather conditions in Latvia in summer, so today I got a new set of Toyo Proxes T1R for the summer season

I have about 10K on my '13 TTS. Just changed over to my snows and the original Toyos still look near brand new. Front and back looked about the same in wear.

Everyone stretched Toyo T1Rs because they best UHP but also very stretchable so best of both world what with being dope stance PLUS late night touge runs will win every time.

It's possible the tire company is doing a great job of balancing your tires, only to have the tires spin on the rims while you're driving. I had this problem on the 19\" Atheos with Toyo Proxes ST's mounted.

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.
