Hmmm... I paid $150 apiece for the 315 Sumis on the back of my Corvette... Find me a US made tire that even comes close to the price in that size....There isnt one, and the way I drive back tires are.....well, could be a very expensive habit

Tell you what.....how about you help the US economy and buy me a set of American made tires? If not I'll be spending my money on the best bang for the buck and right now thats Sumis.
