Both John D and I live in the New England and we simply don't get many of those high heat days (especially on our planned DE days). I'm getting ready to replace the Sumi's on my 993 and unless something changes I'll be putting another set of the HTR Z IIIs.Thanks for your input. Ronald,

My first track session was at Laguna Seca where both myself and my instructor really put them to the test and they performed, in my opinion, better than the OEM Pirelli's that came on my '99 Boxster. My second DE event was at Infineon and the track temps were in the high 80's to low 90's in the afternoon and the rear Sumi's got hot and chunked up to the point pieces of the tire were coming off into the next day. Up to that point, after a dozen or more AX's, one other track session and 7K miles of street and highway driving they looked great. After that session the rears where shot and had to be replaced. The good news is the price for replacement doesn't put a hole in your race fund. I drive with my top down as much as possible and they are less noisy than the Pirellis. Overall I really like the Sumi's and am on my second set but would consider another brand of tire when it is time for replacement.

I've seen a lot of discussion on RL about them, but not great reviews yet. Are you going to install the ball-joints or have it done? If you do it yourself and have the time, take a few pics and document it. That would make a nice DIY post. Andrew,
