Chose HTR+ based on AS versus Summer designation, as well as recommendations on this list and other forums specifically for my car (B5 S4).  Plus, to my eye, HTR+ looks way "kewler" than Z-IIs.

Re: Ronals, I have six 16-in R-28s, 5 of them bent while shod with Nokian NRWs (w/ no damage to tires).  That was an expensive mistake!  What's the latest price per pound for recycled aluminum alloy?

Why did you go for the HTR+ instead of the HTRZ-2?  I had the  
HTRZ-2's on my car, until I bent a THIRD #$@!ing POS ronal wheel.
