A few things to remember about tire prices.

1) they come from oil products and oil has gone up dramatically
2) the value of the US dollar is very low.

Combine those two factors and tire prices are way up and will continue to climb!

Yep . A simple flat tire on one tire feeds right into my neurosis too about even tread wear and I end up replacing both.

Add alignment/ tax/labor, and it's an expensive flat .

What's the difference between them? Any link to show the different tires?

The brandywine dealer is not bad charging serives or parts.
I got a bubble on my front tire (P-zero) with less than 1000 miles. Pireli replaced for free...saved 350. And I also bought the tire insurance at the same time, cost me 260, and if anything happened, will get a replacement.
