Bought a pair of Sumitomo tires for my Neon. They suck! Don't buy them. I'll buy a pair of the BF Goodrich tires in a few months and rotate these to the back, eventhough it is a Neon. I just hate sh*tty tires.

There were only two brands available in the size that I wanted, and the difference was $110. That's why I cheaped out.

What don't you like and how long have you had them?

They feel like truck tires. Too much roll, not enough grip, too much noise. I've had them two days.

I don't think that they'll bother me so much once they're on the back. They do have a really high treadware rating at least.

So because you hate them they are going to last forever!

:confused: My hating them has nothing to do with how long they will last. Although, I could see some arguing that. :sm_laughing:

I'm happy that they have a high treadware rating because I don't like spending money on my Neon. And like I said, once I have decent ones up front they wont bother me so much. I won't rotate these back up front in the future, I'll just replace the front ones as needed. If this were my Vette I would have driven back for a refund already.

Then again, if this was my Vette I'd buy Nittos for it. That's what I've got on there now :) Nittos are great BTW.
