FYI the $199 special was for medium compound.

I used a couple of pairs last year and thought they were the best out there when brand new. They didn't last anywhere close to as long though. Also, I didn't use them enough to confirm this, but I felt like they were teriffic when new, and steadily declined till they were worn out. This as opposed to other tires starting a notch below that, but staying at a higher level until they start going off..

That's a slow guys perspective anyway. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
