I had the HTRZ on my Fox and loved them, quiet, sticky and great wear on them. Then the HTRZII came out and looked nice but everybody says they suck in the rain and are not all that great in the dry. The HTRZIII are out now and have a great look as well as a really high treadwear rating and great reviews at Tire Rack. They are only 10-15 bucks more than the HTRZII so that is the rout I was planning on going till I got these Nitto 555. Now that I have first hand experience with the Nittos I will always use them cause they rock When I get my 18s I will still buy them and they are not alot more than the Sumitomos, although I really want to check out the HTRZIII
I bought the HTR ZII's when I went to 18's. They're quiet and the dry traction is good. I can't comment on rain or wet roads. The tires will never see either.
Definately worth the price. I had them delivered from TireRack to a local shop and overall it was a cheap and easy purchase.
I've had two sets of these tires in 315/35/17 and even thought they are cheap they are not worth buying. they wear out in the center.. and No I didn't have them over inflated. They wore out in less than a year and they don't even have good traction while you have them. I bought a set of BFG 285/40/17 and they are 10X better and last 3X longer! don't buy the Sumitomas!
