The nitto's are def worth the extra money. A self propelled lawn mower could make those sumitomos spin.

Well, I think it depends on how you drive and if you use it to drag. I had Sumitomos HTR-Z II on my 05 GTO with 430HP to the rear wheels with no problems (275 in the rear). But, then again I wasn't racing with those just my everyday driving. Me since I am just using the Mustang as my DD and I am just going to go CAI/Tune and hotrod cams I am going with the Sumitomos. Just my 2 cents.
