Timco,

I've been using Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs and I am very happy with them.

I get 30k to 32k out of the fronts and 15k to 16k out of the rears.

I purchase them via TireRack and never came close to spending $600 for a set of four including shipping.

I started out with HTR Z IIs, but saw a track ready/prep'ed Cayman in the dealer showroom with HTR Z IIIs and decided to try them.

Just my two cents

These and Kumos were also suggested but I thought the GY or Mich sounded like a step up. The Sumi III's were suggested a couple times but I figured due to lowest cost.

What makes the III's better than the II's? Not impressed with the II.

How's the snow down there?
