    Ive been doing some research, and found that these tires, for the price, are unbeatable. Does anyone here have any reviews with these?
    I think ill be purchasing these tires within the next week, in a 235/40/18 (18x8.5) Doc...

    I have a set of them. No major complaints. I think they're slightly louder than my old PS2's and the wet grip has scared me once or twice (when I was pushing it) but other than that I think they're solid.

    I was very impressed with them, especially given the previous generations were just "so-so". Road noise will be an issue with any tires like the HTR 3 that are very aggressive. PS2 Michelins would be better in wet, as would Bridgestone RE050A Pole but for more $$$$. Definately a good value !

    They are great for the price. We sell them out of our warehouse with wheel/tire packages daily! Tirerack.com has plenty of reviews on them.

    Re: Sumitomo HTR Z3

    I recently got these packaged with my new wheels and the road noise is audible, but the performance from the reviews they provide is excellent for the price. I'm still in the break-in phase so I cannot comment on their true ability, as well it was been raining quite a bit here in my hometown. So far, they have yet to scare me in the rain. I will post again in a week or so to give my quick thoughts on the tires.
