I also have the Sumitomo HRT+(245/50zr16). This is the fourth set of tires I have had on this car(Fireston Firehawk, Dunlop A20 and Falken Ziex previously). These tires have tons more grip than the others did. They also have great wet weather traction.

I have been using the HTR Z ll for the last 3 summers and that thread is still excellent, A very good tire for the price. Using 245/45/ZR-17's an d the wet & dry traction can not be beat.
