Default Vredestein vs. Sumitomo for front wheels

Alright guys, ive got my choices limited down to these two for the wheels i am gonna pick up with my return. i am going with 17x9.5/11" zr1's and have chosen nitto 555r's in 315/35r17 for the rear. the front is why i am here.

i like what i have heard about these two tires. i am looking at the sumitomo HTR-Z II 275/40/17 that i can get for about $200 a pair and the vredestein sessanta 275/40/17 that i can have for about $100 more.

my question is are the vred's worth $100 more? like i said, both have awesome reviews and look pretty good. car is a semi-daily driver that SHOULD see some track time this season.

also if youve got a suggestion in that size that's within $200-$300 let me know, ive pretty much ruled out the goodyears and michelins this time. let me know your thoughts.

I ran a 12.98 with Sumo's on back. Can't beat that for $100!
