tires in general have risen considerably in price. late last year. forget the reason they gave but it wasn't the gulf spill. priced tires for my truck an the guy gave me the whole get 'em now they're going up speech. of course I thought he was just going for pressure sale so I waited. yeah bad idea on that one. LOL paid almost $100 more couple months later.

Here's a review of the D616 against the Pirelli Scorpion Sync: http://canyonchasers.net/reviews/tires/d616vSync.php. If the Pirelli is better for your needs, The Motorcycle Superstore sent me a coupon good for 42% off Pirelli's. Use the code "M320-PIRELLITEN" at checkout. Expires 10/10/10 at midnight PST.

We went over this in macroeconomics the other day.. we placed a tariff on tires from china because they were selling them for less then what they were costing to make. In response, they placed a tariff on chickens.
