$150 per tire?!?!? WTF yo? lol

I was gonna point you to Dunlop Direzza DZ101 Star Spec's because I heard good things about them and they weren't as expensive as the big names. But they ain't $150 per tire.

Maybe you should get in on that whole Sailun Tire program. Sounds like it's right up your alley... you get cheap tires... and all you need to do is report on how much you like them.

sumi's are not bad. i have a friend who is a 25+ year builder of race cars (skylines, rx7's supra's, ect) and he absolutely loves the sumitomo's.

I on the other hand am obsessed with the Nitto Neogen's. Decent price for a great tire. I'd look into them

I run the Sumitomo HTR Z III, have had them for two summers now. Not a bad tire at all. Great ride and handling but im not sure how they will handle with more HP.

If you want a tire that will last, get the DWS, no other tire will perform this good in all weather and last thing long

Size: 265/35ZR18
Rating: 97Y XL
Treadwear: 540 A A
