Sumitomos are cheap tires -- one step above the Westlake, Sunny, and other Chinese brands. I hear they get noisy with higher miles on them.
There are several tires with substantial rebates for a set of four (from $40 - $70). I'd look at the price after rebate along with the mileage warranty and come up with a price/mile.
A 60,000 mile tire that's only 15% more expensive than a 40,000 mile Sumitomo is a better buy because you'll get 50% more miles out of them.
If price is a major discriminator, you could buy the Fuzions but the review and survey results show they're lousy tires.
And you'd have more choices if you focused less on V speed rating (H is probably good enough) and more on load factors (91 or 93 vs 97).
