Best Street Tire

Guess tirerack doesnt know that haha. None listed in their "sizes" section for them.

i've said that about sumi's. they suck, i know i use to own them AND made the compund before at work

+1 BFG's KD and KDW

thats probably where i got it from. i heard someone say that about them a few weeks after i had them on and thought "TROOF"

I know alot of people are dogging the Sumitomos but my set of Sumitomo HTR-ZII's on my old GT used to hook up pretty damn well. My 245 hooked better than the crappy ass 285 Kumho's that are on my car now. I plan to switch back to Sumi's in a few weeks

Im not dogging ALL Sumitomos, just the ones I have, which are the HTR+, ultra-high performance All seasons. I dont have any experience with their other models.

i was so glad when i got rid of my sumitomos. they were absolute crap. i love my michelins, they are the best street tires ive ever owned.

I have a set of Sumi HTRZ-II's on my car and after going ot the track twice (a total of 4 runs with little burnout, just enough to clean the tires) they turned into rocks. They slide all over the dam place now. Even on very rough pavement they spin like mad if i get on it a little.

I won't be purchasing any more of these tires.

I'm running Sumi HTR Z II 275/40/17's all around. I don't have experience with other tires other than the stock goodyears but these hook a hell of a lot better.

So... would the BFG KDW2's be a good tire? I'm just not sure which ones I want to get, but I really want to go with a 295/35 and see if I can get that thing to hook any better without going the Drag Radial route.. altho I wish I could get some

the best street tire 60's i have seen from mustang guys were low 1.8s the best being a 1.80x. He was on nittos(non drag radial) and the other tires were michelin pilot sport cups(non competitiion)

 

[bdcardinal]

i only thought the Pilot Sport Cups came in a competition tyre variety. i have the Pilot Sport A/S on both my cars, plus i know they make the Pilot Sport and the PS2. i will definately be using the Pilot Sport Cups as track tyres though.

i had them on my rears in the link in my sig, and i swear they were sport cups....they were 255 a tire new i believe, i traded for the black bullitt set up that was on my vert so i cant be certain

I feel bad for Sumitomo owners (above). Worst tires I ever had.

Which Sumitomo tire are you referring to?

Which Sumitomo tire are you referring to?

I cannot remember the exact line (been 7 years ago), but they were on my '95 Cobra. Handled like crap in the rain, had a very short tread life, and emitted tons of odd road noise.
