Sumitomos are just rebadged Dunlops, from what I've heard (Sumitomo owns
Dunlop). I think the HTR Z's are D40 M2's?? Not sure about that.
    Anyway, everything I've heard says they're good tires, never heard
anything bad about them, but I've never had any, either. But I'm going to
buy some for my GTI this summer.
