HTR z3 still out performs it and is still cheaper. For a max summer tire you can't beat the price and performance of this tire. If you want more you're going to pay a lot more money and lose longevity.

Not sure what you're basing that off of??

From TireRack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=MP

1. Michelin Pilot Super Sport (

)
2. Bridgestone S04 Pole Position (Good cheaper alternative to the PSS)
~
11. Hankook V12
12. Continental SportContact 3 (A good comparo to the Conti DW?)
~
15. Sumitomo HTR ZIII

Sumitomo HTR ZIII - $750 for OEM sized set
Hankook V12 - $774 for OEM sized set

So the price is marginally different.

Hard data. Only 1 test it lost, wet and dry braking. Everything else it won over the V12 and some tests over the other 2. Kills it everyday and track driving.

And tires are like the stock market, everyday the price jumps and falls. Mine when I bought were way down. Tomorrow they'll probably be down too.

That's interesting, I wonder why they'd be rated one way on what I'm seeing, and differently on what you're seeing? Crazy tirerack...

How much does a set run you?

Because yours is the "butt dyno" from people. Mine are stop watched and stuff by tire rack employees.

Mine were 255/40/18 and 285/35/18 several months back and were $630.

"Review" and "survey" tab is by a buyer reviewing the tire. "Test" tab is by tire rack. Just click the tabs on each tire to "read the full report" that's by tire rack. I don't like people's opinions unless they show like on this forum "hey I went 2 seconds faster around xxx track because I got these tires."

The HTR Z3 is low on your scale because the V12 is more popular with more customer feedback.
