Tires FEDERAL or SUMITOMO
175/60 but they have better traction and ride better than the sumitomos to me. I love them and couldn't be happier.
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.
My new favorite cheap-o all-seasons are the Sumitomo HTR high-performance all-seasons. Quiet, good dry grip, comfortable, cheap.
I learned my lesson with the 165/45 15 federals... and will tell anyone here that can still find these to stack up while they are cheap/can find them.
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.
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!
I have them on my 86. The sidewalls are OK, not great. They do leave something to be desired as far as cornering, as they seem to break loose with little warning.
I had the HTR+ a few years back...wouldn't recommend it for someone who is looking for a reliable track tire or a super performance tire...but I was quite surprised how well it did for everyday driving and the occasional spirited lapse in judgement...LOL...price was very nice too
Yes the handling is worse! Yes I feel my ride is compromised when taking corners, braking, and overall feel for the road is reduced.
