Default Re: Tires: Sumitomo HTR Z

Hi Patton, not to confuse the issue on tires but if wet performance is high on your list because of local weather then the GS-D3's are a good tire.

Okay I'll turn in my "Key" now. Yesterday afternoon and last night, sat., I drove up to hang with a group in the CF/NE section in CT. I got a first hand demo of G/Y's rain performance. The trip was about 180 miles round & it was in various wet conditions, from the just wet pavement to the steady rain that causes puddles on the interstate. Man were those tires great. Very stuck to the road & definately not afraid of puddles! I was moving at speeds that felt secure & found that upper 70's was almost like being in the dry! I was amazed how these tires part the water and the grip level was fantastic. No loss of steering feel thru puddles, you know they are there. The car didn't "skate" thru puddles & the steering didn't go "numb".

End of advertisement!


Tom
