Hankook Ventus Sport K104 VS Sumitomo HTR Z II

yeah so i trashed my tires going thru a construction zone, and these two tires seem to be the cheapest tires out there. i dont have the money for my all time favorite falken azinez rt-615 or id jump on them

pretty much, ive read alot of reviews on both and they actually seem like a good bang for the buck. the sumitomos are a little cheaper, for the same price i can get the hankooks or the sumitoms with road hazards

specs on a sumitomos:: 220 AA A
hankooks:: 280 A A

anyone have any experience with these tires?

I ran the Sumi's as my DD summer tire a few years ago. They were OK, but I don't have near the power you do. That might overwhelm them.

thats what im worried about.. i was reading the reviews and someone with a cobera said that the hankooks hook really well, and there was a review about a corvette having the sumis (older vette) and he pretty much this.. "i do alot of street racing on these tires and they dont really spin, now i win"
