Personally, I'll always go Sumitomo over anything, partly because my partner sells them so I get a pretty decent discount :D

Both brands are similar quality but like R3N said, Sumis are quite hard and they tend to have a very square shoulder. They're quite a tall tyre.

I have Proxies 4 on the GTR, very decent tyre in all conditions.
