cygnusx1 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey are those the Sumitomo HTZ's that I posted about for $60 each at tirerack? How do you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yes they are! I like them a lot, arent much of a rain tire but I dont really need to worry about that here in Arizona...They are quiet on the highway and ride pretty smooth. Get them heated up and they just want to grab at the road. Only problem I have with them is when they break loose...they are LOUD!!! No drifting on these tires unless your doing it at the track..Strong sidewall, good cornering, I'd buy them again especially for $60 bucks a tire. We'll see how long they last.

DavyZ Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 They fill in the wheel wells perfectly and look great too I think the 16 x 8 is the near-perfect size for the Z. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aziza z Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 thats wierd how you said they rub. Im running 225s as well and they dont run. thats weird. Mines lowered too. maybe 235s then for me haha. I wont be satisfied until they do rub haha. oh yea they look awesome btw. Gotta love the silver on black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 The thing is that they rubbed where you front air dam is so I think the after market air dams have more clearence, I just tapped it in a lil bit, hoping to get front fair dam this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280z1975 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Please post more photos ... I am looking at getting this wheels later on once I can scrap together the cash. I need some Z porn to look at ... my Z won't be here in Europe till the end of April. I miss driving it ... hell, I miss when it gives me ♥♥♥♥ and I get pissed off and I got to fix it ... come to think of it, these are the exact same things I miss about my wife (who will be arriving shortly before the Z) ... I got a feeling I will be doing a lot of driving at the end of April . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZDrifter Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 they are still lookin new, a little heat scarring on the edges but thats expected in 90-100 degree weather. Good dry tire, Id buy them again for the price in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
