[s-cars] Tires for B5 S4

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Anybody tried the Sumitomo HTR Z III.  If you read the test report here:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/TireTestServlet?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireMo
del=HTR+Z+III&partnum=34YR8HTRZ3XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&plac
e=26

They beat out some pretty good competition and are certainly dirt cheap at
$116 each for 235/40/18.

I think so, although you can't really directly compare different brands'
treadwear numbers.

Check out the reviews- I don't really see too many people complaining about
PS2s. Pretty darn expensive, though.
