I've got a tight tight budget, and I need some tires within the $400-500 range. Sounds simple right... but im running C5 wagon wheels and have become acutely familiar with the term "corvette tax"
Falken zx912 are z rated and are about 100.00 each. They were rated number 1 by consumer reports last year when i got mine. They are an AWESOME rain tire and grip really well here in sunny florida. Not recommended but i would do about 80=90mph in the rain without anydoubt about my car sticking to the ground. while everyone else was doing 40mph in the fast lasne of course. damn tourists!! I love em!!!! The tires that is...

i don't know about the HTR Z 2s but I got the HTR Z IIIs and i took my car down Clinton Rd, West Milford, NJ... maybe somebody knows it, the other day and averaged prolly around 50-70 the whole time and the tires didn't cry once.
Granted i have a good amount of suspension upgrades but the tires didnt give up once. It was amazing. I honestly think i could have gone faster too, but i love my Iroc and didn't want to wrap it around a tree.
ANYwayy the HTR Z IIIs are great tires. Also quite cheap for what there worth. I am very pleased with there performance.
I have them on a set of 9" Zr1s 275/40/17.
let me know if anyone knows what road im talking about!

Reason: tire size
Whats the difference between the HTR Z/HTR Z II/HTR Z III? I see a difference in tread pattern, but is that it? I see small differences in the compounds & such, but typically different designs have different line names.
I don't know about them being on a camaro but they make my Mazda 3 (my dd) sound like a tank going down the road. That being said the if you don't have snow and don't mind ALOT of noise they stick well
yeah, i work at sears as a tech, and ive had to replace acouple of those sumitomo tires because they develop this huge bubble on the sidewall. so you have to return it and theyll give you a new one since theyre covered under warranty
i recommend kumho ecsta's theyre really good tires, and affordable
