I ran across these while surfing for snow tires. Didn't find any for snow but these are listed at $90 per tire and are the exact tires delivered from the factory if my memory is correct (which it often isnt hehe).

I remember that these were hard to find so I thought I would share my discovery here.

( I wonder if the fact I did my first burnout today had something to do with this search. Hmmmm) :cool:

Wow, I'm used to paying 220 a tire for my 02 Lightning...

$90, damn...That's a bargain... Time to go do some really big smoky burnouts...

The price surprised me too. It seems too good to be true as I was expecting $200+ myself.

(edit: Please confirm these are the correct tires before ordering, I would hate to be responsible for someone getting the wrong ones)

Wow! That price is a pleasure to see... I was waiting for the $175 plus price.. The one thing that bugged me on the MM tires and rims was not being able to rotate the tires... Now at that price it isn't so bad... With any luck, and minimal exhibitions :rolleyes: , I should get 35 to 40K out of a set...

Yeah, I'm a little surprised to see such a hard compound being used... 400 tread wear rating... My F1's had a 300 tread wear and were gone after 10000 miles...

These, theoretically should be good for 25-30000 miles..

Logan,

I am sure that 400 rating was selected because we can't rotate... In a year and a half or so people, who bought the "all black Grand Marquis", are going to be raising all sorts of hell that they already need tires..
