Look, the Sumitomos are just like the Goodyears! Only different.

How do they get away with that?

Real simple you pay more you get more rubber. Or more inches if you prefer for your ride. I have a set waiting to go when I burn through my set of summos. Very low treadlife as well.

Yea,its called a 315 by everybody else.I couldnt resist.Anybody ever want to check on a tire size just go on the Tire Racks web site,pull up tires and look up specs.Height,sec width and tread width,it takes some navigation to find what your looking for but it there.
