IMO, i've had the Sumitomo HTR+s on my car and a few of my friends have them too. Any of ours didn't last very long. A year or under before they wore out. Very little to no burnouts and running the correct psi. They're cheap tires, so you are going to get what you pay for with the HTR+s. Just a heads up.

Ive got some of those all aroung my car. Got them a few weeks ago. 315's out back, and 255's up front. They grip good but I can still spin them all the way through first sometimes and my car is pretty much stock.

I dont think they grip at all, and the wear is nowhere near the rating on them. I just get them for looks and cost!

I have a set of Falken Ziek 512's all around 275/40/17 rear 255/40/17 front. They grip like crazy. I love them good dry and wet pavement. i got them from www.highperformancetire.com 420 shipped to my door

Hey thanks for the replies and links guys

The sidewall doesn't look too bad in those pics.

Yeah that's about what I'm doing as well. I want to shod some 10.5" rims and I don't want to spend a lot of money. The track tires cut into the street budget!

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's are the best tire I ever had.
I had the Sumitomo HTR's when I first got my car and
honestly they were not that bad.

:OT: Nobody can you post some pics of your car in the sticky thread in the 94-95 talk section, please? It's been a while since I've seen it. Thanks.

i got the opposite results. i have the HTR+ and i love them. quiet ride, no vibration and they are cheap! little 'rollie' in the corners tho. mines showing little wear

I HATE them... They are pretty ****ty tires...No dry traction...Get falkens or Yokohamas if you don't have much to spend.
