rims and tires(opinions)
well i picked up a set of 99-00 si rims yesterday. now im on the hunt for tires. i took a look at tirerack.com and im stuck between two different sets. i like the sumitomo's because i also have a set of them on my mazda. good griping tires. now i also took a look at some kumho's that look nice to me. heres the list of specs on both. lmk if you guys have had these before and how you felt about them.

+ 1 on sumitomo's
Cheap!!
Have them on my turbo corvair , HTZ-R's (I think) I bought them due to the 166 tread wear rating..they are sticky..and for $67 u can't go wrong
tried a set of Fuzions on a legacy I had... not so good 9the other cheap tire)

Re: rims and tires(opinions)
I like RT-615s and Hankook RS-2s, the best price I've found for RT-615s is a company called 88rotor, $340 for 4 205/50/15. BTW your comparo has been stopped due to security issues. I've tried two different types of Kumho summer tires and they both suck ***, I can burn all the way through first w/ ~140whp.

I had a set of kumho's and I felt they were the worse tire I ever owned.

I have bought these twice. They take raping very well.

i have these DZ101 tires on my si wheels, they're pretty good, especially since i snagged them back when they were 45 a tire, looks like now they're 60 each. I like thm, i'd recommend them. Good grip, and very predictable.
