Tirerack only has 3 225/45-17 UHP/AS tires and I wanted to know if anyone has owned/has opinions on the Sumitomo HTR+s. If spending almost a g note for tires wasn't a big deal to me I'd go with the Pilot A/Ss but if I figure if I can get these for less than half and they're a decent performer AND can handle some snow, that's all I really want. I wish I could compare them to my Nokian NRWs but Tirerack doesn't carry the Noks (don't know why.) So if anyone has had the Sumis or both them and the NRWs, I'd like to hear what you have to say about them.

TIA,
Zimmer.

 

I highly recommand you to check out the Bridgestone RE950. Just bought a set, VERY happy with it!!

 

Just checked them, look like a solid performer (maybe not in the snow however), but they don't come in 225/45-17 only 215 and 235. Which would probably be OK, but the last time I tried to stagger tire width w/o rim width I was told it wasn't a good idea. Thanks anyway though!
