All four tires showed up today. Had to pay $80 in taxes and fees to UPS. Still only $1520 for all tires delivered and installed. Not cheap but far better than any company in the USA. Pretty sad it is cheaper to import tires from Germany, including freight, than buy them in the USA.

Awesome. Please review and let us know how you like them. I am still waiting on parts to finish my car. Currency conversion is really helping with the price.

I have put a few hundred miles on the rears and I'm favorably impressed. They handle the power well. Less wheel spin and better than my old PS'2. At the price point it's a huge win. Thanks again Bernard for doing the hard work!!!

I put some miles on the tires today. I think they are great. The sidewalls feel good and they are pretty quiet. I'm breaking in my motor so I can't comment on the grip just yet.

I'm sold on the Conti's. I will be hard pressed to pay the Michelin premium in the future. This are really good tires! I can't thank you enough for getting this source!!!

Glad to see you guys like them.
I also want to thank you for the leg work in finding this source. This size is such a pain in the **s. I'm running on 13 yr old ps2's. I will give a shot at ordering this week.
Thanks again

Another successful order !
Tires will be in transit today. This is an extremely easy process. 3 emails and the process was done. This company is on the ball. All emails answered immediately or within 24 hrs.
Total cost $ 1,045.91 USD. This does not include any sales tax coming into FL, which may not apply. Only 6.5 here, still a great deal to your door.
Thanks again to all who have paved the way.

Another nice thing about these tires is that the fronts stay true and do not pull left or right with the lines in the road. My Yokohamas follow the lines quite a bit. The comfort is pretty good but there really isn't enough sidewall if you live in a place with beat up roads. Idaho has some of the best roads in the country so I am loving this setup so far. There are a few roads that I avoid to save my rims from the beating.
