honestly I hated my sumitomo tires. The treadware rating on them is only like 160-180 which is terrible. They do not last very long at all as where the BFG KDW II have a very high rating and a 50 thousand mile warranty at discount tire. So by the time you spend twice as much on the tires, you get twice as much life out of a tire that is twice as good. Just some food for thought.
