Yeah, I have the HTRZ II 275/40/17, and 255/40/17's on my car. Several guys talked me into those tires on another forum, after they said they hooked pretty good on the street...and they were reasonably priced

We use to be one of the best dealers for Sumitmo before we started pushing Nitto so much. The Sumi's are good tires for the money, but I find for a few bucks more, I could usually put our customers into Nittos, which are better for not much more $. I like the Nittos because not only are they sticky, but their sidewalls are usually more square then rounded.
In most cases, we meet, or beat TireRack's prices. If anyone needs Sumitomos, or Nittos, we got you covered.Last edited by DriverzInc; 09-22-2009 at 03:16 PM.

I like the HTRZ on my El Camino. Even autocrossed them, did okay, but I'm used to the V710's. They ride well and handle water pretty good as well. Good tire for the money, although they are being phased out/replaced it seems by newer tires.
