These will be in size 205/60/13 and be mounted on my 1980 Rx7. The tires on there have to go because they are dryrotted, the car will be going on the road at the end of this coming week, so i need to make my tire decision soon. I'm in N. NJ, so there is snow at this time, and it also rains a fair amount when its warm enough. These will hopefully only be til spring/summer until i can get some 15" panasports and s03's. So i need something that dosent suck, but can still deal with snow, as i need all the help i can get in the Rx7.

so, for $46 apiece from tirerack, they have slightly worse dry and wet ratings, but are snow rated, compared to the HTR 200's which are supposed to be nice tires.... i could have the all 4 at my door for $220. I think it's worth it, but i'm looking for any opinions, or alternative tires for what i'm looking for.

and i'll throw in a pic of the little girl:

 

I have the Sumitomo HTR 200 in size 205/60/13. I like the tires! They grip well and seem to wear well pretty well too. If I were to buy them again I would get them in size 195/60/13 instead. The 205's on the skinny stock rims have too much side wall flex IMO. I think the 195's will tighten that up and make the car handle better.

 

Sweet ride BTW!

 

You hit it on the head, 205's are too wide for the stock rims. Much better to go with the 195 width, although in the 60 series, you will have some speedometer error.

 

htr 200 here. same size and had a lot of stick for the price.

 

thanks for all the input. I think i'll get them, because in all honesty, there is no way they can be worse than the dry rotted, no name tires that are on the car now.

and note, i'm not on stock rims, i'm not sure if they're the same width, but i'll take a look. Stock is 6"??

 

I have had the Sumitomo HTR's for over 20k miles now and I got them shipped from tirerack for $200 for my gsl-se. I think they are great and the price is hard to pass up.

 

allright gump, thats good enough proof for me, i'm getting them.

Cause you have to deal witht he same weather up here... shitty right? how much snow do you have now?we have 16" as of now.

 

215/50/13 here. They work great in the dry but the snow is a different story...lol
