They are cheap, just like you said..You probably don't want to mix/match them with non-run flats or other brand of tire.

I don't have the Sumitomo's but I have Fuzion HRi's on my 2003 in the front. I have one set for street driving (stock wheels) and one set for drag racing on different rims and in both cases they are mixed with the rear tires. They seem to be fine at 120+ at the track and no issues on the street with the Nitto's in the back (although the Nitto's are junk!!!)

I bought a set of Kumho non run flats a year ago because I did'nt like the road noise of the Good year F-1's( nor the price). They even gave me a mileage warranty at Discout Tires. I have no experience with Sumitomo. The Kumho's work great
