i could not agree more! tried the sumitomo's (the 3, not the 2) and they are bad. the flat spots were not my main gripe, they work themselves out after 10 miles or so. it was the fact that they were spongey in the corners (the sidewalls flexed a lot, but only let go a few times) and they were near impossible to keep balanced. had to get them rebalanced every 5k miles or so. the ONLY thing they had going for them was their longevity. nearly 25k miles on the set (rears worn, fronts still had decent tread left).
