Default Jim, Tire Question

Jim,

I recently made a post about the Sumitomo Tires...

What do you know about them and what is the best tire they make you sell?

Ive been looking at the HTR Z II and HTR Z III.

Thanks,
Steven

The HTRZ III is by far the best tire. In our test I was very impressed. You can read the test results on our web site.
If I can help let me know.

Jim, silly question, but your posts always say, "if I can help let me know". Does this mean if we contact you we can get the tires cheaper than the price on Tirerack.com?

I think it was asked before and the answer was "no"

Unfortunately I can not give a better price. I can only give the best service available.

I am thinking of these too. The price is great.

Jim, would you suggest these over the Kumho Exsta MX that I love so very much.

Jim, if you work on commission, then I'll definitely buy them through you. If this is the case, do we call and just ask for "Jim"?
