thinking about gettting a cheap set of Sumitomo htr200 high performance summer tires?
I am thinking about getting a set of Sumitomo htr 200 tires for summer and people have said good reviews about them but what do you guys think about a 205/60/15 tire for a rota slipstream rim?

The HTR200 is really crappy. Inexpensive, but crap. In most sizes, for a few bucks more, you can get the Kumho SPT, which is MUCH better.
That sounds like an odd size to use for a Honda/Acura car. What kind of car is this going on (year, model, version)?

Those are all-season tires. If he's not using the tires in snow and frigid cold - and he said he's getting them for summer - then he's better off with summer tires.

Re: (Markb16a)
That still sounds like the wrong size.
What year is your Civic hatchback? If it's '96 or older, you should be getting 195/50-15. If it's '97-00, you should be getting 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.
The Kumho Ecsta SPT is a great tire for "bang for the buck". It has very good dry traction, excellent traction in rain, lasts a long time (30-45K miles), and it's amazingly inexpensive. You have to spend a whole lot more money if you want to get a tire that's any better.
