THIS is what I think of Sumitomo tires...
 

I'll let the image speak for itself...
Tires were :owned:.

In case you wondered:
Wheels = OEM 18's
Tires = Sumitomo HTR III
Sizes = 245/275 F/R

That's what i get for buying $500 tires.

I have ran sumitomo tires at the track. They were slow as crap, but they held up very well.

Not sure what is going on with yours.

:eek:

The NTB next door tried to sell me some...I told them hell no! Just google the tires and most of the reviews say stay away.

How many miles were on the tire?

Ship it to Sumitomo tires with a note.

What was the manufacture date? Could they have been excessively aged? Sitting on a rack in temperatures that were too hot/cold? Seems like a warranty should cover this.

Article about tire aging

Looks like a decent amount of tread left. Maybe post em on craigslist: USED :rofl2:

About 1500 miles on the tires.

I have 4 sets of HTR Z III, never have that problem.
