I have a set of Sumitomo HTRZII's with about 4k miles. They've been good on both wet and dry. Tire Rack has a good price on them and the tread pattern is similar to Dunlop 9000 Sport but at much lowere cost :smash: :thumbs:

I have the SZ50's. they harden up at 35degrees and get zero traction. if on the rears, they spin, if on the front, they skip across the pavement.

I have the RE potenzens on my other car, they are noisy.

I love my BFG GForce T/A's KDW's. All around good tire and fairly cheap.

I have Sumitomo HTRZ IIs up front and Sumitomo HTRZ Is out back. Sumitomo doesn't make the IIs in 315 size. I would go with the HTRZ IIs all around if you are looking for the 275 size.
