[mkiv] Sumitomo HTR Z III's?

[John Cribb]

Has anyone tried the 3rd generation HTR's from Sumitomo? Tire Rack
apparently like them.....a lot. 
 
They're supposed to be MUCH better than the HTR Z II's which gained a very
bad reputation for noise and wet traction as they aged. 
 
The HTR Z III's are apparently now TireRack's #1 Max Performance Summer
tire, beating out Bridgestones, Continentals, and Yokohama's.
 
They're so new there's no extended use data on them yet, but here are Tire
Rack's inhouse test results:
