Crap, picked up a nail and ruined the tire. Maybe the tirerack guys can help...

I have the Sumitomo HTRZ 225/45/zr17 on the A4 and I picked up a nail on the highway. It went flat and unfortunately before I could stop the tire was ruined. Now there are about 35,000 miles on the tires and they "look" good but it's probably more cost effective to just plan on replacing them next spring.

So. . . here are my requirements. . .
Same size, I like the look.
I'd like something a bit quieter!
I'd like to keep them at $60-70 bucks apeice.

Is this possible? I'll check the website too. Thanks. Hey It's been a while. . . is Gary still there? I think that's who helped me out before.

$60-70 per tire for 225/45/17?

The General Exclaim UHP is $77.00 each, and owners really like them. Seems to be a great value tire.

Same price as the HTRZ II

If you have to go cheaper, the Nexen N3000 is around $66 for 225/45/17.
