Volvo Virgin Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Looking at putting some new shoes on the Volans and was wondering if anyone had any experience or knowledge of these 2 tires. I'm looking to buy decent tires for under $100.00 a piece because I'm shopping for 18's as we speak and might be unloading the Volans, but they need new tires immediately. Both the Sumitomo and the Fuzion are inexpensive all-season hi-performance tires, but both get good reviews from differnet car mags and such and seem leaps above the Wanlis and Nankangs. But whatever thoughts ya got........put 'em out there!!!!! Try and keep the $100-200 a piece tire recommendations to a minimum as I already know what's out there in that price range.

gdizzle Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I use Sumi Htr+ on my 17s for winter, good tire. Wear isn't the greatest but for the price, can't complain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmartinlsmith Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 hell go for the bfgoodrich gforce sport.... great tires good all around and fairly priced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtbone Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I like my Fuzions. Handle great in wet and snow and are pretty sticky too. Maybe a little louder than my Proxies 4's but I can't complain. Treadlife seems to be lasting much longer that my Proxes 4's as well.You can get a set of 4 shipped for under 280. Cheapest I found was at www.highperformancetire.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white96850turbo Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 My parents also have the bfgoodrich gforce sport, and they are the best tires i have ever driven on. They ride nice, are quite, handle great, and best of all are priced great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownTurboBrick Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 i buy sumitomo hrt's but now the hrt-z which are V rated, for everyone i know and all my cars. i get them wholesale for under $50 a peice. quiet tires, handle very well for what they are, but still only all season tires. awesome for cheap performance tires, but absolutely not a high performance tire that everyone in that class claims to be. they're quiet and quick to respond when traffic gets dodgy. i can't break em loose too often in the dry unless im brake boosting hard and even then they catch damn well after i light them up. in the rain ill spin them as soon as boost kicks in but with the htr-z's they dispell water very quickly and won't hydroplane no matter how hard im spinning. the regular htr's have hydroplanned on me at speed and large puddles on the sides. i recommend them as a cheap alternative to kick jerk tires.o the new line of federal tires are bad jerk as well and damn cheap, they don't wholesale them at my dealer so thats the only reason i don't buy them.
