The only thing good about those Sumotomo tires are the price. They dont hook for **** and wear very fast. When it comes to tires you generally get what you pay for. I have run a bunch of different brands and right now the best deal out there for the money is the Nitto 555 extreme tire. They wear well and perform well too in dry or wet conditions. Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but Sumotomo's are junk. You will figure that out real quick by driving with them.

And they fit by lifting the car up by the rearend and then installing the tire. Then you dont have to remove anything.

I had the sumi's too when i got my wheels they run a tad small. I did not have to remove my bump stops and i'm running a bigger tire now. I too lift the car by the rear and have no problems getting the wheels on and off the sumi's make alot of noise when they break loose too so i'll know when there spinning
