i dont want to get the drag radials cuz they only have "Tread Wear: 3.1" and that is unacceptable for me

Nittos are expensive but it's because the are generally very good tires

Out of thoes two I'd pick the nitto tire. From what I hear about threadwear, the Nittos will last just as long as a the Sumis, but the Nittos have more traction. If you were to go with a Sumitomo tire pick the HTR Z III but they don't make thoes in 315, 295 is the widest and thats what I have.

I wish they made sumi HTRZIIIs in 315...I'm replacing my front tire with those but guess I have to stick with the crappy ones for the rear.

I have Nitto's right now and I like them. Great traction, seems to be good wear, and I'll most likely stick with them when I have to get another set of tires.

Actually after getting these tires from Ziggy I recommend the Toyo Proxes TS4's. You can get them for like $140/ea from your local tire shop (probably less online) and they're a GREAT all weather tire. Really sticky in the dry and I have not hydroplaned once in the wet even at 70+ Mph on the interstate. Haven't seen any wear yet and honestly I'm pretty abusive on tires.

so NITTO FTW

go with the nitto's. they're definately an experienced tire brand.

yeah go with nittos thats what i have and im glad i got them. good tread wear too

The nittos are a much better tire and last longer, get them instead.

nittos.

nittos ftw

Sumitomos are cheaper!

Nitto's or fail. :beatup:

But they wear out almost twice as fast. Its worth the money to get a tire that last much longer then the crappy performing sumi's.

nittos. Summi's are horrible at hooking up!

Nittos...I've got them on mine and I love them (as much as you can love a tire anyway). Great wear, they hook good and they're all you can want out of a performance street tire.

i do alot of donuts,, which ive always figured Nittos were too expensive and would wear out quick,, but after this im gonna take a look into em.

Sumitomo tires, cause they gotta be run flat???

Nitto 555's!

unless your just looking for rubber thats molded in a circular shape and goes on rims...lol...go with the nittos though. I had an auto putting 275 to the wheels and with WOT they would break loose just a little from 1st to 2nd shifts. But i had a shift kit and 4.10s also...and a 3800 stall.
