new tires

Got new tires yesterday. Old ones were pretty crackly. I went with a 60 series height;
I like the lower profile and the 70's looked a little fat to me (just personal preference).

These will do nicely as I work on the rest of the car and decide what wheels I really really want.

Very responsive, super nice grippy tire. VERY good price.
I am a shop and I can usually beat prices, even from TireRack. (/shameless plug)
Works really well wet and dry, stiff sidewall, great for street, canyon or even autocrossing.

SUMITOMO HTR A/S PO1

Photographing tires is a little tough, but here are a few:

Plug noted, let's talk. LOL
I have the 70 series Sumitomo but may be time to replace.

I guess it depends where you intend to drive. Pick your pattern:
