I'm curious how these tires compare:
I have BFGoodrich Comp T/A VR4's, 215/50VR16 on my car.
I just ordered for my mom ('94 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon) Dunlop SP Sport A2's, 195/65HR14.
The Dunlops are rated higher than my tires by users. This makes me feel inferior to my mom's cheesy subaru wagon ;-) How do they compare in real world?
Btw, I'm thinking about getting Sumitomo HTRZ II's for Summer, along with a set of 17's. Should I go for the Sumitomo's, or spend way more and get Pirelli Sport 9000's (ZR).
Cheers,
Mike.

assuming 215/45/17 is the proper size for you, then...
S-03 is only a couple of bucks more than SP9000 at Tire Rack. S-03s are very competitively priced nowadays.
SP9000 will give you more comfort, S-03 will give you better performance and wet traction.
Also, I didn't see Sumitomo HTRZ-II in that size. Are you considering another size?

ummm... i think I found the HTRZ II's in 215/40/17
I'm screwing with the idea of new tires; don't really need them, but I might save up for some. Just seeing what people thought of which tires.
Basically I'm bored at work :-P

hehe....
search the archives - lots of feedback on those Sumitomos and Kumhos.
I've got no personal experience with them. All I know is I love the amazing wet traction of my S-03s, and they are much better in that respect than my stock Pirelli P6000. Dry traction is about the same.
With the prices of S-03s coming down so much, I might buy them again. Alternatively, I'll give Toyo T-1S a try (very light).
