Sumitomo HTR Z II?

Time to replace my Bridgestone's after about 25k -- been reading lots of good things about Sumitomo HTR Z III. Any opinions? Or should I just stick w/ stock?

eek! If you have the choice stay away. I have a set on my Advans because they came free with the wheels. The Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions i have on my RPF1's are a million times better. The Sumitomos have terrible road noise, a harsh ride and can't grip for sh*t. My traction control kicks in all the time with these tires and i can't begin to explain how annoyed by the i am. I'm trying to wear them out as soon as possible so i can justify buying new street tires.

Hope that helps.

I have the Sumitomo HTR Z III on my car right now and I dont like them.
They are very noisy.
They have no traction what so ever.
and they wont last but maybe 10,000 miles.
I need new tires and I have only had these on for a little 8,000 miles.

How about Yokohama? Not much difference in price from Bridgestone, but again, seems to recieve more positive comments.
