Sumitomo HTR Z III spent after 7k miles

Thanks for the post, I was looking at these tires on tire rack. They got good reviews. For the price you can't beat them but if they only last 7000 miles I'll have to rethink purchasing these tires.

The OP definitely has something else going on. They should last 2-3 times that long.

I'm on my third set of HTRZ III's. Always get great mileage out of them.

Agreed.
I've got 22k on mine and, while I wouldn't push them real hard into turns on smooth, wet asphalt, the tread's otherwise still good for a few more miles. They've been to the track once during that time also.
