I had them on my old 04 and on my 98 now. They are a great tire for the $$. Of course they are not as good as the other tires but they cost less than half usually.

They are a good daily driver tire, they are not good for drag racing, but are fine for me. They last a while and are a descent tire imo.

those tires suck if you have a lot of power to put to the ground.

Im running sumitomo HRZ.... 245 front, 315 back.
For the price you just cannot beat them. I had all 4 purchased mounted and balanced for a grand total of 560.

They suck on wet roads, and totally blow in the snow. By dry pavement they seem to work well. Unless the pavement is very cold, then they still suck.

It was either those of 1,200 for a set of BF goodrich G-forces.

I figured i would go the cheap route, and if they sucked i would get something better next time. On dry pavement they work fine though.

I had the 315 Sumitomos and I was real disappointed. Ride wasn't as smooth as with my 275 firestone fuzions and I got much less traction.

I just put them on last month 315's out back and 275's up front. I could not pass up the price and they beat the living hell out of my 56,000 mile stock Gator butts that would not die.

They are fine tires. If they were $100 more a piece, then more people will magically like them.
