Jim,
You can do better than that
I think you'll find many of us buying the OEM S02 tires if the price was right. It's got to be worth us buying from you, then having to lug it to a tire shop (and pay installation fee) for installation.
How about it?

BTW, I'll probably try out the Kumho in a month or so to see what that's like. I put on 25K miles / year on commuting alone so I am a bit price sensitive.

I guess the real question is do you think you can do better on the price of the S02 tires, I doubt it. We sell the tires at a discount price everyday and wheel we get a better deal from the tire mfg. they go on sale.
As far as paying for mounting, you have to do that whether you buy them from us or from a local tire store. We do have a service where we can ship directly to a tire installer in your area so you never have to handle them.
Hopefully our prices are good enough. You will have to decide that.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

I have been driving on the Yokohama's for about 9 months. S02s on the front and the Yoko on the back. They work great, better handling in the rain as well..

That is why we do our tire test. The RE730 is substantially better dry weather handling tire. The only problem is they will get noisy after some wear. Both of these tires are good wet traction and longer wear.
If I can help let me know.

chrysis,
Try the Khumo tires. Jim at tirerack has good price. I found mine at Discount tires for about the same price as tirerack (once you add the s&h). I did this because Discount tires had them in stock and I had a blow out with my S02s so I couldn't wait for the shipping.
Overall, it's great for under $100 per tire. I have them on the rear and they seem to be 95% as good as the original S02s, but at half the price.
Good luck.
