Time to change tyres as my last trip to MY (end may) on raining day and my current tyres skidded a bit over pool of water although last changed in Aug 2008. Recommemded Sumitomo HTR A/S PO-1 at $145/- each for 215/60/R16. Any view on these tyres. Thanks

Since ps3 is out of my budget. I have shortened on my list. Please help me decide on which to buy. Comments or feedback on its lasting, noise and performance

Hi All, Was introduced to this tyre recently. Looks like a good value Y-rating Japanese tyre. It has good ratings and reviews from Tirerack. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=93 In a test, the ZIII even beat CSCIII Any users of this ZIII in Singapore? Any good or bad feedback? Understand not many tyre shops carry this brand. Thanks in advance.

I search the thread on Sumitomo tires. No much feedback and some threads were started with no reply to it. Trying my luck here. Here is the review from www.tirerack.com : The Sumitomo HTRZ II is an Ultra High Performance Summer radial designed to blend appearance, performance and comfort. This combination makes the HTRZ II appropriate for many of today's sporty cars because it provides a unique look with a size lineup of 17" and 18" rim diameter "Plus Two" and "Plus Three" fitments. Like all summer tires, the HTRZ II is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. On the outside the HTRZ II's tread pattern features extra wide, arched tread blocks to enhance dry road traction and handling. The blocks vary in size and shape to help minimize noise levels and are separated by Multi Direction Water Channels to help increase wet traction and resist hydroplaning. On the inside the HTRZ II features two steel belts with spirally-wrapped Jointless Nylon Band reinforcement for high-speed durability and predictable handling while minimizing weight and improving ride uniformity. The lower sidewall features Single Strand Beads for improved wheel fit and Wheel Flange Guards to help protect alloy wheels from curb damage. Anyone used Sumitomo before? Are their prices competitive? Thank you. Regards,
