You dont have the HTRZ IIs. They dont make them in 315s yet. You are probably thinking about the original HTRZs. I just bought a set for the rear of my car and i love them! They do great in the rain! (of course i have been daily driving on mickey thompson drag radials for a year so anything is better). I think you will like them.
