[s-cars] Sumitomo HTR ZIII

[mike claire]

BTDT with the Exclaims. I read the TR reviews. How can you go wrong -
especially for the price?  I will explain.

The big box store manager didn't even want to order them, he was sure
I wouldn't like them. Ok thanks for the warning. Now just order 'em
and match tire rack's price, thank you very much.

A few days later they were on the car. I knew I was in trouble within
the first 200 feet.

They squirmed bad. I drove over sand and did a few 60-30 ABS stops to
get the shine off the contact patch. Then I drove back to the store
and took my lumps. It was an expensive mistake.
