Default Got new tires installed today: let's play a game of guess what tire it is!

Here's a picture of it.

Feels like these have stiffer sidewalls than the Toyo T1-R's I had. Haven't pushed them too hard yet since I've only got some 250km on them, but they seem to grip no worse than the T1-R's. At &lt;$120 a tire, I'm, so far, quite happy.

Except the ZE-912 is formally classified as an A/S, while the HTR Z III is a summer tire.
