I run Sumitomo tires on the rear on 11" ZR1 style rims. 315/35-17. I bought them based on the reviews at TireRack. Very happy with them in dry and wet. I had a set on the front that were not good in the rain, switched to Nittos that have a deep groove in the middle. They are much better. I used them at the strip for one year but have to slicks.

They sound pretty good so far. The only thing is that the deal is for the wheels and tires mounted , balanced and shipped. But if I do that I wont have my sensors in them and not sure if it will start throwing codes and giving me problems.

I just had some installed a few weeks ago. No problems at all. They look good and they are cheap.

I have them on my 97 about 1,000 miles. Grate tire for the money.
What a change from the run flats.
