Tires SUMITOMO or VITOUR
Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.
the tires are vitour formula spec z.
I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.
Answer to your question, the "best" 200tw tire in the market right now is the Vitour P1.
The Vitour P1 is available in your size. Fastest, long lasting tire out right now. Usable in the rain if you diky your car too.
On the Vitours so at least for now prefer them ????
Vitour P1 is the hot new tire to run. As fast as the fastest, really stiff sidewall to keep you somewhat taught on a oversized tire, and longer lasting than any other top tier 200tw tires.
I found comparable value with the stock sumitomo tires the came with.
Yeah, they're alright. Brother had a set on his 2016 Fiesta and didn't have much ill to say. He reckoned they were noisier than the original Goodyear's that came with the car but was happy with the traction.
Im a tech who has installed these (customer requested) and had them on one of my cars a few years ago. The only good points about them were the tread wear and the affordable cost. They have a VERY hard compound which means they lose traction easy. I was told by a customer, as well as my experience, that they spun very easily on wet surfaces and were terrible in the snow. They were also noisy at highway speeds. I do NOT recommend them and dont sell them unless requested.
