Anyone use these tires?

[Dinzdale40]

Sumitomo - they are supposedly really popular in Japan, but I don't know if we get the exact same tires as they do. Has anyone had any experience with them. I think i'll be getting 215/40s for my 17" in march, and just want to know if these tires suck or not. I'll be getting them from Sears, because low profile tires are more likely to get nails in them and i want Roadhazard. Any help would get greatly appreciated.

I know some people who have used them for autocross. They like the HTRZ is it?

I've been looking at all the different brands of tires lately, but i think I am going to go with some Yokohama Parada Spec IIs 205/45ZR17. They will be a little smaller than what i have now but it will be okay. I also have a hookup up here that i'm gonna get a price with on Monday(27th). 330$ Sounds good, are those just for the sumitomos though? I"m looking at about 450 mounted and balanced if i buy them online then get someone to put them on and blance them. Thanks for looking into it. I have allot of choices and I should be more than ready to go for Spring, which, for me, will start in March. Might be cold but not freezing, just enough to geet them to lay off the salt for the year.
