We will both see.  I just ordered a set of the HTR200 for my wifes car. 
I've been running the Sumitomo HTR4 for about two years on my truck and
think it's quite dandy.  Doubly so, considering the price.

I'll probably have to end up running them on the Spitfire in a year or
two.  No more Yokohama AVS Intermediates in that size. :(

Well I did it, ordered 4 new 205/60HR-13 Sumitomo HTR 200 tires for
the
Spitfire.  They should arrive at my door Friday and if so I ll put
them on
this weekend.  The old 205/60 BFG's are bald and really unsafe - I
hope
I'll like these as I have had BFG's on the car for probably the better
of
twenty years.  I just couldn't justify the price.  For roughly $23 less
a
tire the Sumitomo has better specs and according to tire racks survey
better performance (for what I use them for) than the old standby - SO
- I
hope I like the look as well as the BFG's and we'll see how they
perform
