Re: [DML] Goodyear tire connection

["M. P. Olans" <mpolans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Absolutely true,
     The Sumitomo HTRZ II is one of the best summer/inclement weather
performance tires I have run.  I even put them on my Porsche before I
sold it.  However, the HTRZ II doesn't come in a couple of the sizes I
am looking for.  The GS-C does, or did.  I thought they were long
gone, but some are still being made and I am finding local Goodyear
retailers here and there that have some stockpiles.  I just don't have
them time to call every Goodyear tire store looking for them and hoped
that someone on the list had an "in" with Goodyear and could point me
in the right direction.

As far as tire comparisons, when I find the set(s) I am looking for
and have a chance to test them I will definitely report my findings. 
It is my suspicion that the GS-Cs will be superior to the HTRZ IIs,
but only a good test will tell.  Unfortunately I'm pretty sure they
will be a lot more expensive....:(
