i agree, we had a set of sumitomo 315's on one of our cars for a little while and they were cost effective.. thats about all i can say for them.

Not much of an OEM application for that size anymore,but BFG,Goodyear,Dunlop,Yokohama,and Sumitomo all make that sizing.

It all depends on what you consider acceptable mileage,Rock. My last set of Michelin Pilots had 20K miles of use when I sold the car and they still had lots of rubber left. Originally Posted by rocketman

we now have 335 pilots and they are MUCH better than the sumitomos!! but aren't as cost effective so... it's up to you.
