Sumitomo Tires
I have never put them under my car and was originally going to throw some falkens under the sonata, but.... They are running a special on them next weekend at NTB, buy one get one free. So I can get all 4 and an alignment that I know it needs for cheaper than the falkens.. and it needs an alignment. I do not play with the sonata so im really not worried about getting uberhighperformance tires. Just wanted to see if anyone had any bad experiences with them.
Like the yokohama avid touring I had at one point that once half way down made driving in the rain close to driving on ice. They also sucked big time on the track, lol. (I know not a track tires.. heh) 2.4 60ft was the best they would do. I cut 2.3s and lower with walmart crap tires on the accent.

i had Sumitomo HTRZ's on my SRT-4 and they wore SUPER fast, much faster than any other Z-rated tire I had ever had before. And I never raced the car or burned out.
They wore out in the front in about 8000 miles or so, back in about 12000
