Its time for new tires and was wondering if anyone has tried the Sumitomo HTR Z III? It will be for my 18x8s.

Im more concerned about ride quality, noise and safety rather than performance since Im not racing or anything, just daily driving.

they're up to 3 now?!

 

Guess so. Is that good or bad? Dont know if I should get the HTR+ or the III's since they are maybe $17 difference in cost.

 

I have the IIs and they have been decent tires, good bang for the buck. I would go with the IIIs over the +s. The IIIs are one of their latest designs and should out perform the +s in every way. The +s are an allseason tire and the IIIs are a summer tire, do you need an allseason tire???

 

Im fine with summer tires since I live in CA and the only thing I encounter is heavy rain. I think I will go with the IIIs. Thanks.

 

I concur about the II. And yeah, here in SoCal, I haven't used all-seasons for the past 6ish years.

 

Sumitomos are very quiet tires and are highly underated. The could charge alot more for them than they do.

 

Thanks guys I just ordered them and they are here. BTW, what tire pressure do you guys run your 18s? With my 18x8s with 235/40/18 I ran 37 front and 33 rear.

 

Sumitomo tires are garbage. I'd def look into something else.

 

i had some and HATED them...

 

Friend has some on is Altima and he hates them. Spend some extra money and buy some better tires.......
