enkei 92's wrapped in sumitomo 175/50/13's :beer: i miss the damn pos already
Cons: miss the damn pos
175/60 but they have better traction and ride better than the sumitomos to me. I love them and couldn't be happier.
Pros: better traction, better ride
We've switched to Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s. They're pretty good in the snow, believe it or not, and they're quiet and comfortable without giving up too much in handling. Very impressed so far.
Pros: quiet and comfortable
Cons: giving up too much
My new favorite cheap-o all-seasons are the Sumitomo HTR high-performance all-seasons. Quiet, good dry grip, comfortable, cheap.
Pros: quiet, good dry grip
Cons: cheap
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
My old 175/50s didn't handle for ****
Cons: didn't handle well
I run the sumitomo 215/50s but I got a 185/60 for a spre so it fits under the rear mat.
the summitomo HTR-200 are a relatively decent tire. They are super cheap and come in several sizes that would work for you.
Pros: super cheap, decent tire
I just got 4 Sumitomo HTR Z III's and they were super cheap, 300 treadwear rating, pretty sweet tread pattern, and reinforced sidewall, all for $107 a piece from TireRack, pretty reasonable. There's almost no road noise and they grip pretty well, I just hope they last!
Pros: super cheap, grips well
Cons: hope they last
My experience is that they balance just fine but yes, they do have a thin (2 ply nylon?) sidewall, which is why I inflate them to 51 PSI as per manufacturer's spec and they do great! This is a diesel Jetta so the fastest I've driven them at a constant speed was about 80mph from central Connecticut to midcoast Maine. I also drove the Jetta from Maine to Seattle 2 summers ago with over a thousand pounds of "stuff" in and on the car. They behaved just fine and did excellent in the horrible rainstorms I encountered in Illinois.
Pros: balance just fine, good in rain
Cons: thin sidewall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
