Question I Need New Rubbers

At 31K it's about time for new hoops. Has anyone bought those $163 F1's from that tire store in GA? That's a dam good price but is it for real? Who knows their phone #? Best I can do around here is Nitto 555 for $1044 on and out the door. Thanks

No f1 tire would last 31,000 miles on South Florida roads! Your lucky if you get 20 K! Coral rock in the tarmac makes it very abrasive.

Just got off the phone with Charley at C&D and I should have F1's on my door step a week from Mon. Total cost $774 so who ever has a "L" that lives behind his tire store and put the post up on the price thanks alot. You saved me 300 bucks. Go have a cold one on me and I'll give ya the money next time I see you.
