Need Info on buying tires
I don't know where to post this but I need some info on some tires. I was looking at these Sumitomo SRIXON4. They are like $68 a piece on TireRack.com What do yall have on your rides that I could afford right now.. Now I have the Eagle GT II's. They are expensive and I don't have the cash but just let me know your opinions and maybe give me a link to a web site.

Sumitomo seems to make really good, affordable tires (for practical everyday driving and partially spirited). I just order a pair for my camaro last night. Should be here by Wed. I have some discontinued(?) HTR4's on my 'bird. IIRC, they were $74 at the time and for the price, some of the best cheap tires I've ever bought. The most noted performance feature I liked about them is they had great wet traction compared to the BFG Comp T/a's I used to be dedicated to.
I'm hoping these new ones are similar in wet performance as what's on the 'bird. I know, at least, they can't be as bad as the current p.o.s. tires the camaro is rolling on now.

Wow.. they were on the doorstep when I got home just a little while ago... speedy delivery!
For the price, they appear to be some really nice tires. Time to dispose of the old ones
