i don't know how these guys are making money...Dan, that set of tires you got would cost me $166.60 plus shipping to you. And here you are getting them for $10 over my cost...which is the lowest cost out there, with shipping. I really wish I could help you guys out. I really hate these internet places, they fucking suck!!!

Caster...again your set is $13 above my cost.

This fucking blows, oh well

They're selling Pilot Powers and 2CT, not Power Pure. I'm sure they're just blowing out stock. For what little street riding I do though, an "old" Pilot Power is just fine by me.

I'm selling them too...those numbers i put up were for Pilot Powers...a set for you would cost me $166 and shipping on them is between $15-$25. So for me to get them to you at cost it would be $190.

At these prices it's even making it worth while to ship to Canada.

I have to believe that these guys bought huge lots at closeout discounts from Michelin.

Its that or theyre clearing em out for th elatest greatest must have tires. I was paying between 230-270 for powers 2 yrs ago so now if I can get them under 200 why not. They work for me in track and street so I will stick with em for now.

I know most of the advanced riders/racers i am friends with dont care for em but untill I get to that level I will stick with what works.
