Default what about Sumitomo tires?

I was looking for tires for my CRX and they were listed as performance tires for $38 on tirerack.com. Has anyone bought a set and if so what is your opinion.
Just looking for something to replace the stocks I'm thinking about getting them to try them out.

They are the Sumitomo HTR200.

I know "you get what you pay for" just looking for any comments anyone has about the brand and or what they've heard.

Thanks

I run these tires in the winter and when I am not chewing up my Azenis. For the amount of money you can't really go wrong, I even tried autocrossing with them(I wouldn't recommend doing that). They are a good street tire though.

Thanks for the replies, for $38 it does not hurt to try them.

HTRZ4s are a killer inexpensive all-season. Get those instead.

I have ran both the HTR200 and the HTRZ. Both are excellent street tires and better then most tires twice the price.

Highly recommended.

I'm running the HTR200 now and my only complaint is their side walls are fairly soft.

I have a set of HTR 200 and they're pretty decent. Definitely good performance for the price.

I had the HTRZ and they are very good tires and I never had any flats either. I would reccomend them.
the size I had was 215/50-13 on my 85 RX-7 and my 86 AE86.
