Which Tires To Choose?

Deciding between the following tires;

Sumitomo HTR Z III in 245/35/20

and

Falken FK 452 in 245/35/20

Which tire is better to go with ? Which will last longer in just regular driving for spring/summer?

I've never heard of the Sumitomo before, but I got the Falkens on my 20's. Looking around it seems like they come very highly reviewed on other sites.

I'd be curious to see if other people with the Falkens were able to get 20k+ miles out of them.

look at the wear rating on both. The higher the number, the higher the mileage. I had Falken Ziex ZE512 on my G35 that were incredible. They actually had a mileage warranty where no other performance tire did. Low road noise and good grip...sold the car with 30,000 miles and plenty of tread left.

Sumitomo used to make some good tires years ago. Seems they've been mia lately.
