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.

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.

:P

  • 4 weeks later...

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

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
