I'm running the Sumis on the rear (265/35/18) and Contis on the front. I'll be adding Sumis on the front for next season. At the track I didn't notice anything particularly wonky about this pairing.
I guess the question is are you getting understeer (ploughs on regardless) or oversteer ( rear end tends to break loose). Or is it just wobbly. If this can be determined and clarified, it would be a great help for everyone who is making tire decisions.
