Received the following from a tire shop when out to buy new tires. Went to the yahoo group site and searched, does not appear anyone has tried these?
"I have put together pricing on the Michelin tires that you requested and i have also included the Yokohama 104Z tire as well. The 104 z tire is a much newer tire by design, has green technology certified by the U.S. Government to deliver at minimum 3% better fuel mileage than a non certified tire. Also the design of the tire was released around 2009 as where the Michelin XZA2 is over 15 years old. Lastly the Yokohama tire will most likely be MUCH newer manufacture date than that of Michelin. We have installed literally hundreds of these Yokohama tires in your size recently with absolutely zero negative feedback. We have references on same size tires in the Yokohama tire and can furnish those upon request."
Price per tire, tax, tags, title, mounting, disposal, et al. and out the door $700.

Anyone?

Do they spin balance or use Equal liquid balance?

$700 each? Wow! I recently bought six 22.5 Toyos for just over $2300 out the door spin balanced and Fl taxes incl. sold the old tires to a local trash hauler for $75 each.

Where did you purchase your Toyo's? Were they recent manufacture?

That's a pretty good price!
