Sumito Hrtz 2s

[Adz2332]

Hey,

Im getting new tyres and have the oppertunity to get some Sumito HRTZ 2. In the size of 265 18s 35

To be honest ive never reali heard of them.

Anybody used them? Or had any experiance with them?

Mainly used as a street tyre, might see the track once or twice.

i got the same tyres on my rims but in 235/40/18.

They are good for what i think, havent tested them on the track yet but i'll have to see how they go.

would rate 8/10 in the dry and 7.5/10 in the wet.

next option would be the new toyo r1r's or the toyo proxes 4.

Thanks thats what im after. how well have they worn?

i had htrz 1 on the front, found not happy with them in the wet, much understeer. wear was decent though. Decent cheaper tyre imho, but yeah, a cheap tyre nonetheless

Thanks thats what im after. how well have they worn?

ive had them on the car for roughly 4months and cant notice any wear at the moment. also im running -3 degrees camber on the rear.

In my experience they were good tyres in the dry but pretty poor in the wet.

I put a set of them on my old lady's 911 a while ago, decent tyre but never had the porsche on the track.

Get the HTR-ZIII if u can...they are the latest model and I've had them on my V35 for 2 months now...awesome tire in the wet and dry. There is also a very good review of them on tirerack in the US where it beats the yokos and bridgestone potenzas in a few categories...

I have just had fitted today some HTR-ZII in 235/45/17's. Will give them a couple of weeks then I will post my thoughts but first impressions is that they are very quite compaired to the Dunlop DZ 101's that they replaced, even on the rough bitumen. The guy at the tyre shop recommended them, he said that they are now made by Dunlop in Japan, they were on special at $165 each.

Well guys I've had them on now for a couple of weeks have found them to be very good in both wet & dry weather. Have had a couple of wet nights after training so I decided to test them out on some of the bends that I go hard thru in the dry & the grip was just the same, they get of the line realy good no wheel slip, only a slight squrm on the gear change fron 1st to 2nd (was giving it a -bit). I would rate them out of 10 a 7.5-8. Very happy with my purchase.

Cheers
