Default vredestein tires????

What do yall think...are they decent? I found a fair priced wheel/tire combo with vredesteins 275-35-18's on em. I also found a pretty comparable deal with sumitumo HTR ZII........... I'm afaid if I blow out a vredstein, it'll be hard to find a replacement (anyone know where to find em?).
I'm tryin to decide between sumitumos HTR zII or the vredestein.

I have 315 Sumitomo's. IMO they are like a really wide version of an all season tire. They ranked decent in everything. Don't get me wrong though, everyday driving you will be happy but if you wanna really hook up then and get awesome handling, these aren't it.

I've got the Vredesteins. Head and shoulders above the sumitomo's.

We do now have the Vredesteins. Let me know which wheels you are looking at and I will see if I can do a better deal.

Thanks
Tom
