Default I just bought Sumis
I put them on this week...too early to tell how they work. We're having a cold spell in Boston and they need a couple of hundred miles before I will assess. But they look great, and early indications are positive.

Default i think they will be just over half of what S-03's cost.. so worth checking out when they get here..
even if it's just for the track.

Default Well, they're in "Ultra High Performance" category, same as SP8000s....
and they look more aggressive, so I doubt they'll be cheaper than SP8000s. Are you saying that in 225/45/17 they could be below $100 a piece? That would be a steal! Do you have some insider info? ;-)
