I just bought a set of these. Cheapest i could find that had good tread. I bought them for my big red. I have a buddy (dealer) that could give me his cost and he couldn't even get them for a cheaper price than this. Anyway with a couple rides coming up this spring/summer I want to be ready.

Must be CA taxes and stuff for tires... Seems like around here they just keep rising.

I had a set on an SX... worked ok, but fair warning... they're heavy!

Tire prices in general are out of control. I just put two 15" tires on my damn Corrolla and it was close to $200. Since when does a 15" tire cost close to $100.

Going on my big red 87 250es which i don't ride that much. The only cheaper tire I could find was a junk knobby or kenda scorpions. The scorpions are not a bad tire but I wanted something with at least a little bite. When i do ride it I want to have traction and I already put a dirt devil on the front.
