My Sumi's

Well, got my Sumitomo HTR+ 225/45/27's on today.

1) definately smoother....also seem to take bumps better then the stocks

2)Seem to have gotten quiter now that I have put couple of miles on em'

3) the look cool as hell...real agressive looking


negative:

For some reason the make my wheels look smaller and the wheel gap look bigger the 4x4 look looks even worse :'(
......guess that means i'll have to get springs as soon as i get my next paycheck

This shouldnt be a suprise if you've done your homework.

Sumitomo HTR+ 225/45WR17 revolutions/mile = 834
Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 215/50VR17 rev/mile = 819

Closest size to stocks are...

Sumitomo HTR+ 235/45WR17 = 823
Sumitomo HTR+ 245/45WR17 = 814

But both require 7.5-9.0 inch rims. Personally I would of gone with the 235/45WR17 since it's only 4 revs/mile off.

Yeah, I agree with edgalang, I spent way too much time deciding and ended up going with 245/45/17. They look really good and ride so much better then the Khumos I took off. Much more quiet.
