Has anyone tried the

Avon Tech M550 A/S,

Continenal ContiExtremeContact

or the

Sumitomo HTR+?

How are they?
dry/wet grip?

 

I have experience with the Sumitomo HTR+. It was a good all purpose tire for street. They have decent grip wet or dry, not a true performance
tire but grips well enough for daily driving and some spirited runs.

The treads look pretty good too and are also cross rotatable. :smile:

 

Nice and smooth riding, very quiet. More allseason than sport feeling

A sport tire, but not for agressive drivers, its a bit soft and less precise than others. Best in snow, good hydroplaning resistance.


Best bang for the $, not the quietist tire in the gang - good if you like to listen to music!

 

Thanks Alex.

I want something that I can drive hard in the summer but will be decent for the New England winter. As long as it's a bit better with wear and snow than the Eagle RS-A. I'm good to go. I like the under $100 price range.

What would you recommend?

 

Look at the Perilli P Zero Nero M+S. It received great reviews on the Tire rack site. I have 'em and love them so far. Check it out!

 

BFG G-Force Sports in a 215/45ZR17 on mine. Have been real happy w/ them so far, not M+S rated, but handle rain real well. Good pricing too, I paid $105 a piece for them. Also, check out the Toyo Proxes 4. They are a reasonably priced all-season Z rated tire.

 

The P Zero Nero M+S are ZR tires. Treadwear is a little better than normal P Zero Nero at 400AA. Same exact tread pattern though. Don't let the "M+S" thing fool you.
