Just ordered the Wheel Replicas 10.5 wheels for my car and also ordered the Sumitomo 315/35 tires to mount on them. I thought I would give them a shot and the price is right but does anyone have any personal experience with these tires?

Sumitomo might be what I'm getting for my 18" when I get them. Those nitto's are too expensive

You should get good review for Sumitomo.. What kind of wheels did you get?

I have 285/35R18 and 245/40R18 Sumitomo HTR Z II's on my car. So far they have been great. Nice handling and they aren't loud at all on the road. In fact, I would say they are quieter than the stock Crapyears. At the dragstrip, they hook OK for being 35-series.

Yeah, I forgot that didn't I? They are the Bullit Replicas.

Wow, UPS guy just showed up at the door. Tires look huge! Not bad Tire Rack. Ordered Monday and got them today. Hopefully the rims will be here by Friday.

I have Sumitomo HTR +'s in 245/45/17 all around. Had em for about 7,000 miles. Ive been very pleased so far. Stick good in warm weather and have a good stable feel in rain. A little stiff in cold but goes away after driving a little.

i have the 315/35/17's on the rear of my car and so far i like them a lot. no rubbing issues at all. they are quiet. i only have about a 1,000 miles on them. i hope they last a while. if not, they are pretty cheap.
