Not with those specific tires, but I've had Scummitomo HTRZ-II on my G20
and Scummitomo HTRZ on my 328i.  Both sets sucked.

I'm a big fan of Yokohamas.  I used A306 (I think that was the tire) on my
G20 before going to 17s and they were a good tire.

Unlike most people, I think the Dunlop D60A2 tires suck as well.
