Surpsingly, the passenger rear (burnout wheel) has a good bit of tread left, and of course the driver's rear is barely worn. So this means after I replace the phone I lost (which I don't have enough money to do ATM) I have to buy new front tires. This is after 14 months of use, maybe 10k miles on them. Shitty tires...lol. HTRZ-IIIs good to go?

I like my HTR ZIIIs I just got done with a day of autocross on them and they were great.

Sumis FTL. I had them on my Focus when I bought it off the dealer and they lasted me for about 9 months until I bought the turbo, then the fronts only lasted me about a month lol.

Front-wheel burnouts are amazingly fun to show off sometimes....along with donuts while in reverse (only way to do a donut in a front-wheel drive car)

My old sumi's looked like formula racing wheels when I finally replaced them lol. Wen't with the htr3's when I got new ones. A lot higher thread rate and seem to be a better over all tire. I'd suggest them.

sumis last as long as a 100 dollar tire should... especially such a large tire for that price... they are a steal even if they last 8k miles.

That's what you get with a tire with such a low wear rating. Is that the I or the II tire?

Werd, I don't even bother with a tire for the front if its not a 300+ tread wear rating.
