I get pricing based on what the market bears and all that, but the same items have been out there for years. They have great tires (possibly worth the premium depending on your "needs"). Hopefully the wide tired for roadies trend will help get more offerings out there.
Just my $.02 on an old thread
I bought some Compass tires this fall, only because they were on sale at 30% off. Even then, I was wincing as I handed over $115 after tax. I really like these tires, and am trying to justify paying full boat for another set...
I concur with Chrome Molly, It'd sure be nice if more decent options appeared in the not too distant future(read: flood the market).
