Default Michelin Tires - Stupid Cheap!!

Just ordred a set of 190/50 120/70 Michelin Pilot Powers from this www.jakewilson.com. Price: $176.98 shipped! Even cheaper for 180 rears.

Going back now to see if they stock race rubber, but I didn't see any. I did see 2CT's for a few dollars more, but not much.

Use coupon code jw009 for the extra $20 off at checkout

i don't know how these guys are making money...Dan, that set of tires you got would cost me $166.60 plus shipping to you. And here you are getting them for $10 over my cost...which is the lowest cost out there, with shipping. I really wish I could help you guys out. I really hate these internet places, they fucking suck!!!

Caster...again your set is $13 above my cost.

This fucking blows, oh well

They're selling Pilot Powers and 2CT, not Power Pure. I'm sure they're just blowing out stock. For what little street riding I do though, an "old" Pilot Power is just fine by me.

I'm selling them too...those numbers i put up were for Pilot Powers...a set for you would cost me $166 and shipping on them is between $15-$25. So for me to get them to you at cost it would be $190.

At these prices it's even making it worth while to ship to Canada.

I have to believe that these guys bought huge lots at closeout discounts from Michelin.
