Thanks Jet, I run across the Shinko thread shortly after I ordered. Oh well, hopefully I will need new tires again sometime!

The venom was what i really wanted but was out of my price range but i think you will like the venom and it should last a long time.

Best prices I've found out there and free 2 day shipping (if you buy both at the same time).

Yep, thats where I got them and they were the cheapest I could find.

Added review of new tires in original post.

4 k on my tires and they look good, justa tiny bit flat from the slabs, thanks for the suggestions guys.
 

What tires did you end up with Dan?

I'm pretty sure I talked him into Avon Venoms front & rear.
