Anthony,
I, too, was skeptical; A tire that handles all conditions well and you DON'T HAVE
TO TAKE OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE ON YOUR HOUSE TO BUY THEM!!!! Yep, sounded too good
to be true to me also. If you look a few posts down, you will see some correspondance
between myself and TT regarding Sumitomo Tires. After reading TT's comments, I believe
I will buy the Sumitomo Tires. I have also read several good comments about them over
the internet (look up Sumitomo with your search engine). I didn't find very many
references to Sumitomo on the internet, but the three or four refernces I did find were
favorable. I believe Dunlop is owned by Sumitomo (why pay more for the same stuff?).
Hope it helps!
A Future Sumitomo Tire Buyer.
