we were discussing these tyres at our last club meeting, for 35's yes, anything under 33,32,31' just as competitive in price as a silver stone.

Over priced here, look what you can buy them for in the UK

$1200 a set, I know they are 33" but thats not $800 difference.

At $497 each (for the 35's) I'd say they are over priced compared to what you can get Simex of Silverstone for IMHO.

Yeah, definitely not cheap enough to take a punt on them. Plus the fact that they are apparantly sold in the UK/US but no one seems to have bought them.

I liked the sound of the extra width compared to the Silverstones but it depends how the actual dimensions stack up.

Cheers
