That's all fine and dandy, but how about some examples :-P

The rules for limited-preparation competition classes can lead to tire/wheel decisions that may be OK for the short durations of that competition, but which are likely to fall outside the guidelines for normal street driving. One minute of autocross at between about 30 and 60 mph isn't the same as a ten hour Texas Interstate drive on a hot summer day with a heavily loaded car.

IOW, don't assume that the tire and wheel size combinations you might see at autocross (if you look closely enough) would be appropriate for daily driving.


Roger - sure, I'd prefer to buy American. But if the US mfrs choose to either ignore or abandon the market segment that I'm shopping, or price their competing product significantly higher - those weren't my decisions. However, since they do affect me, I can't help but react to them.

So after reading that C&D test and talking to a local shop, I think the best match for me would be the bridgestone potenza RE760's, OR the Sumitomo HTR Z III.... Now i only need to know what one from these two, and size is the best match for the two FRONT tires on the stock 18" fanblades . .

anyone ?

I dont think any Summer Tire is going to "Match" an all season (Assuming you are talking about the Pirelli Tires). The Summer Tires will stick better when warm and worse when cold.

Of those choices the HTR Z III would be my choice form a Performance Standpoint. They are a very good Summer Tire from a price to performance standpoint.
