Quick question about tires

Hey guys i just wanted to find out if there was such a thing as a decently priced 315 tire with good performance. I was looking to buy those Verdestein Sessanta (sp?) tires cause i've heard good things, but there near $200 each. Unless i'm not looking in the right place. But i should be putting some 11" ZR1's on the car shortly so after all that talking is there a cheaper tire with decent performance in the 315/35/17 size?

and p.s. is 425 shipped for 4 black w/ polished lips Zr1's a good deal?

idk about the tires but the rims sound like a good deal to me
shipping is about $25/rim so you're getting them for like 325 which is damn good

near 200 bux for a good tire is not a bad deal in my book. There is always faulken, but im not sure if they make that size.

yeah im not sure if falken makes that size but i'm going to check. Would it be stupid to buy those nicer tires for the back, and get decent cheaper ones for the fornt? or would you not advise mixing like that?

Sumitomo HRTZ's are what I used on my ZR1's decent tire for the price. They held up well, not much road noise, excellent tread life, a little slippery in the rain though.

I had 17x9.5/17x11's with a 275/40/17 & 315/35/17

$425 is a good deal for all 4.

Just thought I'd pass this on for anyone interested.
Tommy & John Wright I believe both took advantage of this deal awhile back and we all thought they were all gone but guess what....
Inventory says less then 11 left but the person I spoke with says Sumitomo isn't discountinuing them.

I just bought a pair...$230 shipped to my door.Woot woot!

Should be here next tuesday...there's your heads-up...ain't gonna get any cheaper.

can't hurt to try them. Can't get any worse then what i have now. I just heard that not many people liked the HTRZ's and that they weren't the best, but for $98 i guess you cant go wrong.
