Tires

[mnc-i]

I have a 99 Boxster and I have been very happy with Sumitomo HTZ IIs and HTZ IIIs.

I purchase them from Tire Rack and have them shipped to my door, then I take them to the local dealer to have them installed.

They are very inexpensive and I usually get 15,500 to 16,500 miles out of the rear tires and well over 30,000 miles out of the fronts.

The last time I purchased HTZ IIIs they were $86.00 for a front tire and $114.00 for a rear tire. Shipping of four tires to my door was $50.00.

Since I have to change out rear tires so often, I think I will stick with the Sumitomo HTZ IIs or HTZ IIIs. The HTZ IIs are even cheaper.

I might or might not be a rarity...but I love my hankooks. Installed and have about 100 miles on them and they seem to be fantastic. I ahve never been a big tire person...with my DD's I just put on whatever is middle of the road, but I dont drive that much as I work from home quite a bit...but the Hankooks are solid!

Nice work getting more for less! Good for you!

Gotta say +1 on Sumitomo HTRZ III's.

I used to run the Conti ExtremeContact DWSs on my old GTI to good results. I did like them. Current I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport AS (primarily due to mileage warranty ).

Agree with the Sumitomo HTZ IIIs......Just put a new set on my 2003 986 and they are fantastic!
