[s-cars] Sumitomo HTR ZIII

[LL - NY]

General (haha) reviews of the General Exclaim UHP on the Saabaru site are
about the same as Mike's review (although there are two regular posters whom
do like them).  I'd stick by the Sumitomos, or consider the Falken Ziex
912's, which reviewd well by Grassroots Motorsports in the budget HP tire
catagory (sometime spring this year, me thinks).
