First set was March 2001. Front was $101 each and rear $141 each.

Second set was in May 2005. Front $75 each and rear $97 each. It was a "special price" so I thought they were going to be discontinued.

Checked Tire Rack today and they still have them. Front $55 each and rear $72 each. You can't beat that price for a Z rated tire. No N rating but I do not care.

Picture of my first set.
How many miles did you get out of your first set of rear tires?
