What are you reading?

How about a link?

Everything I've read indicates it's simply a rebranded RE003...which makes sense. In fact, people have commented that this information comes form people in the tire industry.

This has the exact same tread wear rating as the 760 here. And the 760 overseas (the RE001) has the same rating as the RE003. You think that's just coincidence?

And more to the point...why should we buy the HTRZ3 over this?

To start, with the current rebate, this tire is cheaper.

Plus, while I like the Sumis (run them currently), they're 10 year old tech. No reason this much newer tire couldn't/shouldn't be better...

You have no point of comparison between these and the HTRZ3, so how can you even begin to make that statement?
