Re: [DMCForum] Re: stupid driving lesson question

Yar, the 4 firestones costed me $300 including mounting.  They have a
treadwear of 500, so they're like 80k mile tires.  

I would have put on the yokohama a032r's if I could afford them.  They
are sweeeeeeet.  V&H rated rear&front (though the closest in size to the
rear is a 225, but that's pretty close...).  Treadwear: 60! , and they're
$180 each!
