Sumitomo HTRZ IIs

Make & model of car the product was used on: 1999 A4 TQM

Do not purchase these tires if you are running on an Audi Sport suspension on an A4 with the alignment set to S4 specs.  The tires were excellent for one summer.  I had no complaints, even on the track. After 12,000 miles however, the tires began to howl at highway speeds.
The outside of the tread cupped/feathered.  My Audi Certified Mechanic said that the sidewalls are too stiff for daily driving.  He said that he has seen the same problem with these tires on an A6.  I searched the web and found other A4 owners who had this problem with the same mileage.  These tires may be less expensive, but $500+ is a lot for a single summer of enjoyment
