From what I heard about the sumitomos, I'd say go with them....I just got my tires balanced again and they were telling me the great feedback they were getting about those tires and how they perform similar to higher priced tires. Take note this is only hear say and not my own experience.

well.. i got the HTR+ cuz it high performance all season... If u don't need "all season" you will have more choices.
I don't know how nittos perform on wet pavement, but i have not been disappointed with the Sumi HTR+. Just waiting until it snows in NyC.

If it's Nitto 555s, then it performs pretty good on wet pavement...
