I finally got totally sick of the Sumitomo HTR 200's for being nothing but greasy and generally a loose ride.
May put them on another set of rims and keep them around for a while. Anyone like the ES100's from Yokohama? I did not want to go with 50 series. Thanks! John |

I have 'em as street rubber. They're greasy at first but an hour of spirited scrubbing-in on some twisty roads does the trick. Like all Yoki's they have pretty stiff sidewalls and are sensitive to tire pressure changes. Most folks run them at too high a pressure. 25 - 29 lbs is right in my car but I have 225's in the front and 245's in the rear on 16in rims. Unfortunately this will be my last set since they got rid of their 245/45's and only have a 245/50 now. Too darn tall.
There is no way they can match DOT racing tires for grip but they wear well and are a good value. |
