Always tough to determine just how much credibility you can give everything you see on the web, in various performance car forums, particularly when it comes to tires because I can't think of a single other feature where there is greater subjectivity and as many variables that compound that subjectivity factor, than the one relative to
tire performance opinions. Aso, considering many of the reviews I looked at ( and not just on the Sumis, but about half dozen other brands and models I was considering ) were from Zs, or Mustangs, or ricer car forums which automatically came up to the forefront of the search category option, where I'd tend to think driving habits and thus tire usage differs vastly from ours, I wasn't necessarily convinced by them, but there was sufficient consistency among a few reports on a couple of brands where I started questioning if there is some truth behind it. So I just flipped a coin and the Dunlop Stars won the toss, but it was not a lot more scientific than that. Obviously [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] , since not a single post mentioned anything about the noise these tires make at 80-mph. Along the same lines, the Ultrac Sessantas I had on, according to every single review was supposed to be the next holy grail in tires [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img] in every respect ! Wrong again, so I should have learned from that, but the choices are simply too tough when you're almost convinced a particular tire is great and just when you're ready to buy a set another one surfaces
which is ( ostensibly ) the next generation of performance and supposedly a lot better than the one you had planned to get.
