Not my car personally, but I did share my opinion on the HTRZ III in there as I have used them as a full set 225/255. Do not like, the rears wear out way too fast and I felt the front sidewall was a bit spongy. 7k miles until 2/32 tread on the first set or rears and 8k on the second set, I aligned the car personally(Industry tech for living) Rear total toe was .25° - The Federal SS595's I used after those get 15,000miles out of a set of rears and they're $60 per tire cheaper than the HTRZ III and perform IMO just as well if not better.

Check out the Federal SS595, You'd be surprised for the price what they can do.

im currently running the HTR-Z III's and for the money, id say theyre damn good...no problems in the rain, dry traction is good, theyre wearing nicely and im running some serious camber....even did an auto cross on them and although theyre not track tires by any means, they held up surprisingly well

I got a couple of HTR ZIIIs to replace my rears about a month ago, and I like them so far. They replaced Bridgestone RE760s that came with the car, and the Sumis feel stickier, smoother, and quieter (though to be fair, since the 760s were pretty bald, they should). I was somewhat disappointed with how the 760s behaved in autocross, and while I do hope the Sumis will be better (haven't raced them yet), I would have bought Star Specs if that was my top priority. I have SSs on my Integra, and while they have huge grip, they are kinda loud and wear faster. So the Sumis were the best compromise for me, but if you value the additional traction on the track, don't mind tire hum and can spend the extra $$$, the Star Specs are hard to beat.

had them in the rears, for the price i really liked them. felt good in the rain until they were worn down (duh)

only reason i went with the hankook ventus v12 this time was they were cheaper and seemed about the same other than that. plus it came with a 80$ gift card from tire rack.

I bought my set on Fasting's recommendation. Pushed them pretty hard on a dry group drive in the Adirondack mountains recently. They did just fine. Have been in some rain with them with no complaints. Autocrossed on them last week and was disappointed at first. Felt like the car was on ice. Towards the end of the day I was getting a feel for them and posted some reasonable times. To be fair, this is the first time in 9 years that I have autocrossed the S on street tires. If I was going to competitively autocross in a street tire class, I would buy something else. I can't comment on tread life, but will buy again if I get 12k+ out of the rears.

had a set on my oem 17's.. after just 2 summers of driving, the rears were nearly bald. This is just normal street driving/comuting.. fronts were still new looking.. My next set of tires were Hankook ventus V12's and the rear's have worn much much better than the HTR3's.. Already have 3 summers on them and definitely another summer left in them..

I have had HTR Z IIIs since the summer after I got my car. I have almost 50k miles on the rears. I still have to try to break them loose off the line. The people who are getting less than 20k miles out of these tires either have really bad luck or are smoking them at every stop. I do not track the car, but I have not had any traction issues rain or shine. They have so much wear life that they are starting to get old and I am planning on replacing them in the spring due to cracking.

WTF? The rears on my car are about 1mm from the wear bars after 10,000 miles. I'll probably replace them in another 1k. Fronts aren't even half gone. No track or autocross use.

I don't know man, they have lasted a long time for me. From around 90k to around 140k.
