First (short) drive on non-run flats last night

I got the Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs installed, they're a bargain at $90 each from Tirerack. I drove the car about 20 miles over back roads but it was rush hour so I didn't get much of a chance to push it.

First impression: What a difference, it's a whole different car! Now I have to decide if it's a BETTER car...

It sure rides better, bump harshness is much lower. It's also much quieter. The differences are not at all subtle.

Now I need to put some miles on it this weekend on twisty roads, let's see how the handling is.
