looking at two tires on tirerack

[J-rod]

looking for something cheap as you all know...but my used luck isnt finding any.

local places are all over $80 each plus M/B.

if i order from tirerack i can have them shipped to a tire rack dealer and not have to pay for shipping.

so of these two tires which do you prefer? i have ran both before...but the sumitomo i only ran for 2 months...so i cant really base an opinion on them.

edit - links in post #4

try discount tire direct also. they have good prices and will ship free to your door on most tires. thats who i went through for my GTP tires. 245/55/16's

Your link isn't worth a shit! :balls1: The cookie is stored only on your computer.

Just post the individual links to each tire.

the Sumitomos are real sticky (150 treadwear i think) until you get past 50% treadlife left... yea, then they'll just let go on a cold, wet road for no specific reason and set up a date b/w ur drivers' side door and an oak tree.... i know from experience.... the handling is sub-par as well, b/c they seem to have a really flexible sidewall.... so like i said, first 50% of the tread was great straight line traction .... but they're cheap enough, that if i'd be keeping my present rwhp #'s, i'd buy them and throw them away at their half-life.

cant say on the khumos

edit: as stated, discounttiredirect.com and tiresavings.com both have good prices as well
