The HTRZ-II is basically the same tire as the Dunlop SP9000. They are a good wet handling tire and an average dry handling tire. Depending on how aggressive you drive the car it would be a good tire.
If I can help let me know.

I'm on like what, my sixth set of these tires by now? I absolutely LOVE them. I've had everything from Pilot Sports to P-Zero's and I like the Sumi's the best. These things are straight up awesome in the dry, and pretty damned good in the rain too!
The best thing about these tires however for me is just how LONG they last. I have an ///M roadster, and I got 23,000 miles out of one set!! Compare that with the 8-10k miles I usually got out of Pilot Sports and the choice is clear. They are a bit noisy on hard turns and such but who cares, I think only grumpy old men are annoyed by tire noise.
Definitely get them, they are less than half the price of a Michelin or Pirelli and I believe they are much better tires. Haven't had one bad tire out of the 24 or so I've owned. Get em! :D

I have them. Im not crazy about the rounded sidewall, not that great looking of a tire. Im told there is a noticable difference in grip between sumis and high end tire such as s03.

I'd imagine their might be, but I'm a guy with a budget.

Sorry if this is a hijack, but its a question relating to these tires.

Would you guys/gals recommend these tires, or the Fuzion ZRi's?

TIA.
