Tires SUMITOMO or Sailun
I have been using the Sumitomo HTR A/S P02s for the last 80k (just go 3rd set on front) as a good compromise in price and quality.
I had a good experience with Sumitomo htr a/s p02.
Sailun Ice Blazer WSL2's Their one of the top chinese tire brands. Have had them for 3 seasons driving the fraser-cariboo and they have been awesome.
245/40R-18 Sumitomo HTR A/S P02 on Motegi Racing Mr140
running 40psi, when i go to the track, i keep it at about 38 and check and let out hot air as i go each lap, ill go from 35 to 50*f after a few laps so i always am messing with air. 205/40ZR-17 SUMITOMO HTR Z II 17x8 Axis OG Europa SDC
I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.
My 4runner came with new Sailun Terramax HLT tires. Went 4 wheeling with them twice so far and a couple 1000+ mile road trips... so far so good. They're quiet on road and didn't get me stuck in the desert off road.
I had Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires on my Mk5 Rabbit. They were $82 each for 225/45/17. They grip incredibly well, quiet and comfortable and were good in the wet. Couldn't recommend them enough.
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
they are actually very poor tires. the sidewall is super soft an the compound is far from ideal. i ran these in maybe two autox's an they were just plain sad.
