Thanks Brett.  Confirms what I've heard on the Sumi's.

They're 8.5", not 9's.  For track / AutoX?  Ummmm... they're for my daily driven 24/7/365 22k/yr @ WOT, which... is essentially uh the same.  So, er...  "yes" 8-).

I was quite happy with the HTR-II's, which at the time were the second
cheapest tire on TireRack; I think they may have been under $100/ea
for 235-45-17, and the cheapest tire was really cheap Kumho, I think.
I bought them right before a DE at Mont Tremblant, and was roughly on
par with the V8 S4s on tires costing 2-3 times as much.  Having ~600lb
less to have to haul around does factor in, I suppose :).

9" tires?  Is this for the track? AutoX?
