Sumi are the best bang for the buck if all you care about it tread life and not hooking. They are a good DD tire and you can't beat the price. Never dig race unless you feel like spinning through the gears.....I would do as others have said and pony up for the slightly more expensive wheels.

As they say Good, Fast, Cheap....Pick two

I'm pimpin Riken Raptor ZR's. They have 16,000 miles on them, showing 7/8 32nd's front and rear. They don't hook for anything on the street, but quite a bit has to do with my stock suspension.
