Sumitomo Htr+?
hey all, I was wondering if anyone is having any problems with the HTR+? I bought a set of (4) 225/45/17 last year and have loved them so far except now I've had 1 blown tire two months ago and now two flats with 10 days apart. The crazy thing is, the tires that have gone bad are not on the same rim or even the same side/axel. I've marked each rim that has had a flat or blown tire and they are all different. I am just curious if anyone else has any issues, but also thankful that I have the replacement warranty when I bought the original set. Any input would be appreciated?

just turned 10k on them in the stock size. Very happy with them . Nice even wear on CT drop. Seems like just bad stretch of luck ComptechCLS 
. I think however that some of the issues with these tires are mainly from those who went with a non-OEM size, and/or mounting/balancing problems from non-experienced installers -- not to mention alignments done at PepBoys, Sears, mr.Tire etc... At first I thought, damn $79.95 for alignment at Acura Dealer (PAA/NJ), but then with this stuff it's definitely you get what you pay for (Most of the time...

Thanks guys for all your input. I am sure, its just dumb luck at this time. At least the shop that put my tires on re-checked my alignment and said everything is up to spec. How many miles do you think we could get out of these? on average?
