Good alternative to premium priced tyres for E46 BMW and similar Euro cars I put these tyres on my BMW 316ti E46, bought secondhand with 17 BMW alloy wheels. Note on this car with this size, they are a staggered size 225/45/17 on front and 245/40/17 on rear - so tyre rotation is not possible front<>back as is the case with ... I put these tyres on my BMW 316ti E46, bought secondhand with 17 BMW alloy wheels. Note on this car with this size, they are a staggered size 225/45/17 on front and 245/40/17 on rear - so tyre rotation is not possible front<>back as is the case with some cars. Tyres were nearly new (approx 20% worn). First the good: reasonably quiet tyre on this car. Nice, responsive handling in wet and in dry. Reasonable wear, I got approx 45,000km out of them. What was really nice was that the fronts and rears wore out almost at the same rate (I had to replace the rears first, replaced with Pirelli - see separate review). Also a nice big rim protector/flange. Good feedback when doing a nice twisty road (think Black Spur, Tawonga Gap). Next the not-so-good: Wet handling, particularly at the limit, should be better. I managed to completely lose it in the wet and actually spun the car, despite stability control. Admittedly (1) it was extremely heavy rain after extended dry period, so surface was really slippery and (2) I was deliberately trying to see what happens, this was done on asphalt but not in a traffic situation (carpark/industrial estate). When they do let go, they let go in a big way. So you do need to pay more attention in the wet, which you should always do. To be fair, I did not get to repeat this experiment on the replacement tyres so cannot give a direct like-for-like comparison. Oh and they do tram-track. And the range of sizes is limited. FInally the very bad: hard to find, very few tyre resellers have these, you really have to look for them. Or go Ebay. There are other independent reviews out there [link removed] which also rate these quite highly. Considering the price point (around $160 for the 225/45/17 and well under $200 for the 245/40/17, if you can get them), these are I think, exceptional value for a Japanese made performance tyre. Yes you can buy Contis or Bridgestones or Pirellis but you ll be paying closer to $300 or more per tyre and they will not last as long. There are cheaper alternatives as well from the Koreans... In conclusion - I definitely recommend these on both a performance and value dimension. Yes there are better tyres out there for 50% more outlay. But on a bang-for-buck, these are worth looking at, if you can find them.

Would buy this tyre again.

A True Budget Premium Performance Tyre I have been searching a reasonably priced premium performance tyre for a while, until I try the Sumitomo. I replaced a set of Falken FK452 (also a good budget performance tyre, if not so quite comparing to Sumit) and noticed much lower tyre noise ins ...

Best value, made in Japan I do 60k km a year and frankly can t afford $2000+ for a set that lasts just 10k km. These are well made and provide great rim protection, really durable. In terms of performance I carry 500kg product in a 2 tonne V8 with 630 HP and 825 Nm daily, ty ...

Affordable premium tyres I bought these after I saw they polled well in an overseas tyre review, beating well-known premium brands -which are dearer than these in Oz. Probably as Sumitomo are trying to gain market share in this country. I do loads of driving on winding hill ...

Working well so far Came on the car I bought, with roughly 5km on them. Now travelled around 8km and wearing well on my AMG E55, with tyre sizes 245 and 265 on 18 rims. Plants power really well in both wet and dry. Tyre noise is minimal. Would buy again.

Terrible These would have to be the worst tyres I have ever fitted (205/50 ZR17), and the people at the Tyre Factory the most incompetent tyre people to go with it. Vehicle is a Volvo S40 T5. Previous Pirellis and Yokoahmas all lasted 40,000 kms. These tyres ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

Good Just done 60,000 km on a Jetta (front wheel drive & turbo, 225/45 17) but rotated every 8,000 and had an alignment every six months. Checked tyre pressure regularly. cant get better value for money if you ask me considering the tyres cost $200 each!
