Sumitomo HTRZ's???
Have any of you tried the Sumitomos that are on sale at TR yet?
Good...bad...ugly...? |
I have 'em, no complaints. Decent street tire for the money.

If I were going through Reno would TR install them, or do they only ship out?
|
I had a set back when I had my Z. They were a pretty good all around tire. But they didn't last long.

I got mine in Reno, they do not install, it's only a warehouse. The local Les Schwab in Carson City installed mine and did a nice job. It was about $75 to install and balance...:thumbs: |

Good...bad...ugly...? At normal pressure, 32 lbs for me, they seem a bit softer at turn in as compared to BFG Comp TA's ( yes, I know how old they must be ) I ran a fresh set at 37 psi ( starting line pressure ) in the 150 class for the Silver State ORR... After the fronts warmed up ( about 5 or 6 miles in ) they drove just fine. I like em because their cheap... tear em up and throw em away... then get some more... :thumbs: :cheers: |
I've been using them all year. For the price they are a great tire!

Great tire:thumbs: Wish they made a 335 :(
|
Since they are a little bit softer tire they work really well on the track too.
I had a fresh set on the track last time and they held up really well against victorracers and I think someone had some old slicks too...:willy: |
Is the 315 the widest they offer? My rear wheels would look a lot better with 335...

Yeah.....locobob's 335's look really nice in the wells.:thumbs: I think I'll order a set. My Yoko's are hard and they spin waaay to easily. Easy to impress (or scare) people behind me when I start sliding sideways and bring her back, buuuuut....not so good for real traction. Dang shame 'cause I have almost full tread on the Yoko's. :( |

i had mine mounted about 2 weeks ago and im satisfied with them. they dont hook very easy on the street but if you are on the right cement they will hook. they are very loud when you spin them and i always get a loud 2nd gear scratch. im sure if you were at the track they would hook much better but for the money they are a very good tire.
i recommend them. |
