I've been looking at getting some 255/50's for the stock rears and can't decide btwn the BFG GF-sports or Sumi HTR-Z's. The BFG's have a much better treadwear rating, 340 vs 160, but the Sumi's have some pretty good reviews and the price is right. What kind of mileage are you guys getting from your Sumi's?

i just put a set on my 96 z and ive done a crap ton of burnouts and tire frying and there still doing good they dont hook worth a crap but for the price they are kind of hard to beat

Awsome daily drivers dont know about miles but i ran man for atleast three years and they still had plenty of tread wear left.

I just put 275s and 315s on. The price is awesome, but they are not exactly a great performance tire. Dont get me wrong, they are a great daily driver and when i these are dead I am going to get another set of summi's, just dont plan on getting awesome 60' times with them.

I kind of like like the lack of traction anyway. Spinning the wheels and leaving 2 fat tire marks down for 20 or 30ft just makes me smile.

i was wondering the same thing for when i get my torque thrusts guess i'll also be ordering sumi's

I have had 315's and 275's on my car for about a year and I will say they have lasted, but again, you aren't gonna get alot of performance out of them. If you like to run on the streets or you drive the car like somethin out of Smokey and the Bandit then I would get some BFG's. Or better yet, M/T!!!

5000+mi and tons of meat, hook well for first 6month and not as well now even when heated up but they are still great. You can pull 1.9s to 2.1s on them.(60')

if you want good traction, then dont get the sumitumos, had 315s on the rear of my old black zr1's and did the LONGEST burnouts ever from a light. even from a 40mph roll i would break loose and still do rediculously long burnouts. nice for showin off but not nice if your tryin to beat someones *** lol

i'm running 275/40/17 right now and the treadwear is very good on them....BUT they are noisy as hell and the ride is not very comfortable. Rain they seem to do so-so in. I guess it all depends on what your wanting to get out of your new tires.

lol!, thought I was the only one..Sumitumos are great, I would love the great shift between 1st and 2nd, it was the best they lasted me about 2 years.

Thanks for all the info guys. I ended up ordering the BFG's. I got a pretty sweet deal on them.

I finally got my TTM's and got the sumi;s with them so far i like them but they do lack in the traction department.

No traction and they hydroplane terribly...but they were cheap, so I had a set too

Decent traction on the street if you're not making gobs of power. Different story on the track. I cut some ok 60' times (2.15-2.3) in about 55 degrees. If you plan on racing a lot on the weekends, I'd pony up for something else.

Decent traction in my car and the price is more than right.

The main reason I went with the BFGs was because I've heard a lot of people complain of the traction issues with the Sumis. I'm not making tons of power but I went with the 255s because I feel the extra width wouldn't hurt. You can't argue with the price of the Sumis though, especially you guys running 315s.
