I just installed the Sumos on my 996 as well, I also have sport design wheels..
Leading evidence: 'Install sumos' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Inspect hoses / aos / valve covers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
did they also inspect hoses / AOS / valve covers for possible leaks?; that's the time to give those areas a look-see.

Suggestion
Would any of you recommend the Sumi's for a 996 that will see perhaps 10 track days this summer?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I picked up my car today from RUF Auto Centre with it's new updated RMS and LN Engineering IMS. RMS had a leak and the IMS could of had a possible leak, but almost impossible to determine if it was the IMS or the RMS leaking down into the IMS, as you all know. The replaced IMS was in really good shape. No signs of wear and tear, but wanted it replaced! FYI, car has 37,400 miles on it. I finally have peace of mind now that I have had them both done! Avoided having to put in the new clutch that I had planned on! It was still 85%, which was a pleasant surprise! Thanks Hans!!!
Good for you; now you can put some long term driving into your car
did they also inspect hoses / AOS / valve covers for possible leaks?; that's the time to give those areas a look-see.
Yes it was! Refreshing to know that there are still great shops out there that will let you know you DON'T need something and lower your bill than putting it in anyway to make some $$$$$. As for overall inspection, they said everything was looking great! Now it's time to put new tires all the way around and use up that $500 savings and then some! Thinking Pilot Sports, but will take any recommendations for something that is less noisy and has better tread life than BF Goodrich!!!!
not sure what you use the car for, but a "good" tire at a great price are the Sumi HTR ZIII's (not II's)
do a search, plenty of happy owners - pick up 4 tires for not much more than what you saved on that clutch
Good to hear they're not all ticking time bombs.
I guess that's mainly what it's all about...if you're losing sleep worrying about it, best to get it replaced. OTOH if there was no signs wear at all it seems likely it would've lasted at least another 37,400.
What made you think it needed a clutch in the first place?
Just did the RMS/IMS on my 996 at 35K. Once opened, found that the PO had put a lot more wear on the clutch than expected. (Yeah, I know, blame it on the PO....)
The question is, "What will it look like 40k miles from now?" more than "what condition is it in at this time?"
We could have put my current clutch back in and got a lot more miles out of it. But why pay for the labor a second time?
The clutch was just a thought since I have almost 40,000 on the car. No signs of needing a new one, just was planning on saving on the labor costs down the line.
Thanks Ed, I'll check out the Sumi's
I have the Sumi III's as well. They handle 3-4 track days each year. Just replaced the rears with more Sumi's. The fronts will need new in June. The best news for you Rob is that for the cost of paying $450 for some Pilots you can buy 3 of the 4 Sumi's for that type of money. A real good bang for the buck.
I would. I'll do 3-4 DE's this summer. Each DE is a Sat/Sun or 8 days total. The tires wear very well and some cases longer than the high dollar tires.
I figure if I end up deep in DE's I will need to get a set of dedicated track tires and leave the Sumi's for the highway.
LNE IMS Upgrade ....way to go!!
Sumitomo HTR ZII great tire, beter than my BFG and just as good as my MPilot. Sumitomo's run narrower than oem spec tire, considering HTR Z III 295/30ZR18. I have 13k miles on my Sumitomo 285s and down to 1/32 on center tread.

I have the 295's and they are work great......also thinking about 235's in front instead of the 225's that I currently have. Nice looking car btw.....
I just installed the Sumos on my 996 as well, I also have sport design wheels..
I prefer the tires over the Pilot Sports that I had previously ran, which only lasted 6,000 miles. The Sumos seem to perform better in every way. My Wife will be taking the car to a Land Speed Race Trial this weekend where we hope to set at least one record (she got within .5 MPH last time) and I think she'll like these tires better at above 150 MPH than the Pilot Sports...
