Thanks for the info Ron ...

I went and checked CostCo on Sunday ... they can order these for about $325/ea for the rears and $230 for the fronts.

I'll be checking these out before long.

That's a few bucks less than I paid for mine........Go for it, and check the poll out from today. Michelins are clearly in the lead.

Thanks Ron. I'm still debating ... I can get the GY for 295/ea. for rears ( buddy price ), but I may do the Mich. ZP's if I can scrounge the dough.
