345-35-15 are $750 a pop. Ouch.
Anecdote - Tire Rack had a clearance sale of Yokos in this flavor around
2002 - $107 per tire. I bought 8, and Mike Drew airfreighted them to me in
Spain. I knew we'd never see a Price like that again.
I couldn't use them all up before the expriration date so I ended up
selling several of them at cost to other GT5-S owners in Europe. Ah, $107
was such a nice Price!
