I have Pilot XGTH4s on the ovlov 850 turbo wagon installed by the PO and
can't wait to wear 'em out ;-) This is partly because they're 55 series
and rub in the front (never put larger than 205/50/16s on ovlov 850
turbo wheels) and partly because this car doesn't handle very well, and
part of me wonders if it is them overpriced tires ;-)

Our new-to-use '86 4kq came with AVS Intermediates and combined with the
HR springs and Bilstein sports is the best handling 4kq I have ever
owned (this is my forth), including my first quattro which was a new '87
way back when with RE71s.

Back to Dan's query. I have no personal experience with the Sumitomo
HTR200 but at $39.00 per the price sure is right. Anyone know what
Dunlop (if any) that version Sumitomo is the same as?
