[s-cars] Sumitomo HTR+

[Daniel Hussey]

Thanks for your input Rokas, but think about it....  The only thing between
your car in the road is the contact patch on your tire.  The place to save a
few bucks????  I think not.  Tires are WELL worth thier weight in
performance, braking, and traction in adverse conditions.

Saving $100 on a new set of tires is no big deal.  Getting the edge on
performance is a BIG deal to me.  I'll pay extra for the best compount/tread
design.

Later,
