Best priced 315's?

Sumitomo's are the best priced tires in a 315/35 - R17 correct? I'm looking for some cheap, good looking daily driver tires to throw on a extra set of 17x11 Torq Thrust to drive around town on. My Drag Radials are killing me as far as the wear goes, 10,000 miles is too soon to be buying new tires! I did the smart thing and ordered two spare rims to keep the DR's on for racing so I can run some cheap tires around town. I found the Sumitomo's at the Tire Rack but is there a sponsor or another company that can beat their prices?

Tire Rack is the cheapest that I've seen.

And yes Sumitomos are the absolute cheapest 315's out there.

They are definitely the cheapest but I think the treadwear is not much different lol.

Well the Sumitomo's are very, very hard compound so the treadwear should last a nice long time, I have about 4,000 on mine and they are hardly worn at all.... They look good as well, they look a little wider than Nitto 315's. Good daily driver, excellent in rain, fair handling, no traction if you stand on it though.

Yea, I was surprised at how somewhat good they were in the rain. But as far as dry traction...there is none. You get what you pay for. That said...they are a great, cheap, daily driver tire.
