I just got a new set of Hankook RA 08s off of Craigslist for $220.  That's $55 a tire.  Been looking for a good set for my journeys next year.  These are new, never used.  Did I do ok?  I jumped at it without any research.   102

Mine aren't on the bus yet, I'm going to save them till early next year so they'll be as fresh as can be for mainland asphalt.  I have a friend with a tire machine that will put them on.  Not sure if he can balance.

I did some reading after the fact, looks like this is the tire to have   41

Wow that sounds like a deal to me. Cheapo tires here are 70 bucks each before mounting and ballancing.  Just for grins, tires for my lawn mowers cost 80 bucks and they don't even ballance them  Smiley
