So I bought my new rims and tires this summer, but decided I made the wrong tire choice (Sumi HTR+) :rolleyes: . So rather than beat myself over the head I'm going to pick up something stickier and try to sell off the Sumi's on e-bay or something.
I want something sticky with good wet traction at a reasonable price. I've come up with these options so far (btw - 225/40R-18):
1)Sumitomo HTRZ II - $553 shipped from Tirerack
2)Nitto 550 - $512 shipped from Discount Tire
3)Yokohama AVS sports - obviously the best tire of the bunch, I found a friend who will give me a set with 60% tread left for $350
...but I drive 80 miles a day during the week so treadwear is key. The Yokes are a 180 so I know they won't last long at all, but I'm thinking at that price it would be fun just to have them as long as they do last. I'm not a big Nitto fan, but its a good deal on a "reportedly" good tire, and I've heard lots of praise for the HTRZ II. Tough Choice.
What do you think??
