Default Price seems okay....

I've been running Rossos for the past few summers. Pretty happy with them. But I'm thinking of trying the Toyo T1-S next.

Default you've got two tires at either end of the spectrum...

... the pirelli is high end while the dunlop FM901 is targeted as a low end.

The pirellis may be over priced. The 901s will wear twice as fast.

Look at the T1s or other tires in that price range. The T1S is the lightest tire for the performance.

Also, try and stick with a local supplier... if you need to get a replacement in a hurry, its nice to deal local.
