bfg. In a tire you almost always get what you pay for.

I'll bet you the Sumi sidewalls are softer than the BFG's. I wouldn't even be suprised if the actual tread width was narrower too.

From the testing I've seen, the HTRz performs like the Kumho 712. I have a pair of 712's and hate them.

thanks will definately be getting the bfg over the htr z , i just needed to be reminded that you get what you pay for, and with tires there is never a great tire for cheap,steve.

Here's a review for you:

I'm on my 3rd set of the tires in my signature.

They do EVERYTHING well.
