He's loves them as well.

Judging by the rubber compound and tread design... they look like they'd wear out quick.

I was wondering if I read that right.

2 sets at 38,000 miles. So about 19,000 miles a set at $370 a piece.

They sure do look good though

Back in '69, those tires were only good for 10-12k miles too, but they only cost less than $37 each...

Taking into account 53 years of material and labor cost increases and inflation, heck, they're a bargain now...
