dcfish Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Just put new shoes on the GS, Sumitomo HTR+ I thought I would try a different brand other than Michelin. So far so good, They aren't noisy at all and corner very well and are very smooth. I'll keep a close eye on them and keep this thread updated. Here is a look see@ the tire............

smooth1 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 So how many miles did you end up getting out of those Pilot's? I like smooth, smooth is good! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 So how many miles did you end up getting out of those Pilot's? I like smooth, smooth is good! ;) 62K and they had about 5-7k left on them. I was very satisfied with the pilot sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of price difference between the two brands did you notice dc? $388.00 out the door with lifetime rotate and balance with the HTR's, $525.00 with lifetime rotate and balance with the pilots. Same shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Very nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Very nice. :) Yeah, I have been looking for a good tire for some time. I figured even if I get 40-50k on the HTR's and buy another set for $388.00 I would have new tires again and get 90k + for $776.00.

Variety is the ride of life :whistles: It snowed today about 2-3 in. The tires performed very well in acceleration and braking, Also did very well in the corners. The main streets are a sloppy wet surface, The HTR's handle quite nice on a cold wet surface. So far so good These tires are really growing on me. We'll see how they do down the road.

B) Update: It's -10 below 0 and the tires feel good, Not hard and the ride feels just fine. No flat spots after the car sits in the cold. So far I am a satisfied customer. I'll keep an eye on the wear factor. I do have lifetime rotate and balance and I will do that every 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well, So far so good, I went on a 900+ mile trip through snow and rain + dry roads and I am satisfied with the HTR's. Maybe there is a touch more road noise compared to the pilot sports, But not enough to annoy me. We'll see how they hold up if and when the heat comes.
