HAY TONY!!!!! I bought my tires at Les Swab in Bremeton six months
ago and the back four cost me around $1300.00. I could have gone out
and paid that much for two Michelins but why? I kind of figured it
out that in seven more years I will haft to replace these because of
the DOT Dates. So why spend thousand of dollars for the high price
spread when these are just as good. Oh yes and Les Swab will check my
tires out anytime I want them to. That includes air filling. Jon
