Tire alternatives
Not trying to start a tire war here, so let me say in advance I'm not looking at MPSS due to pricing. I commute to and from work roughly 5 miles, so just want a summer performance tire that will be better than the OEM runflats and that are affordable and perform well enough. So far, it appears that the sumitomo htr z III are the best bang for the buck at about 100 per tire. Was also considering the hankook v12 but have been. Reading bad things about the soft sidewall. Anything else I should consider? Would like to be 500 or less for 4 tires. Thanks!!

I've heard that Nitto's are pretty good budget tires. Maybe try looking into that? Though I haven't tried them myself.
I went for MPSS's for my summer set up.

Your car is going to drive like cr@p on things that cheap. Even good snow tires cost more than that. Just saying. |

Thanks for the feedback. Based on some reviews I'm seeing, the sumitomo is rated higher than the v12 and is substantially less.

Even used MPSS would perform better than some of your cheap alternatives. |

I was going to start a thread regarding this exact topic. Ive narrowed my selection down to the P zero Nero gt in 245/30/20 and 255/30/20. They seem to be the best in regards to quality and price.
