I needed summer tires, I'm still running winter tires out back and the stock tires up front. I ran winter tires all last summer on all 4. I bought four 255/45ZR17 Sumitomo HTR Z. I know they aren't the best tires out but I can't justify paying a lot of money for tires. I wanted tires that are a little wider and taller then the stock size. I think these will do good on my stock rims. Total was only $268 from tire rack. Now I have to finish off my summer mods with some paint work and transmision work. The only other mod left for me to do after those is a power adder or cams or both lol.
 
Sumis are the best tire for the price IMO. If money were not an object id do BFGs but you can replace the Sumis 3 times for the same price :shrug:
 
You guys are killing me! Here, in Canada, Sumitomo tires are $100 each in stock size. Thats $400, $509 with shipping and tax, and $599 :eek: with installation.

I'm buying Nitto 555s for $780 installed. :eek:

I'll be sure to buy Vaseline too. :(
