I cannot find anywhere on tire racks website the 'ol trusty and affordable Sumitomo 315/35/17 HTR Z tires. They quit making those things? Sucks, really don't wanna spend the money on the BFG's or Goodyears.

 

you've got to be kidding me Guess I got mine at the right time, Guess I'm gonna have to fork out the dough when I need tires again, but hopefully that wont be for a while.

 

Sumitomo appears to have updated the design to the HTRZ III, which does not show a 315 in their catalog.

not trying to be an *** or anything but why buy rims that require tires that are in a price range you dont wanna spend?

HTRZ ???????

 

Amen. Thats why I stick with the stock 17X9
Plus with the better tires I can afford I can get better traction and handling.

 

the car had the wheels on it when I bought it, and I got the sumitomos because the tires that were on the car were 235's on the front and 245's almost bald and starting to dryrot on the back and didn't feel like spend the rest of my ,money after getting title tag and everything, happy with them so far, but I was planning on maybe buying bfg's when I need tires again anyways. It's not that I don't want to spend a lot just didn't want to fork out alot at the time.
