I've also seen in here that the Avon Cobra are nice and sticky but don't last very long. The 888 should last a bit longer as well.
is that a Michelin Commander Greg? I've heard they are a great hi mileage tire, only knock being poor on the wet and tar snakes. any thoughts or experience on that?

reason I'm asking is that a Canadian site sells tires way cheaper than any dealers I've come across, with free shipping to boot. when I come up with a good tire, I'm buying a few so that I don't get caught like this again. I found the ME888 for over a hundred dollars cheaper than the one I had to buy on the road at the mercy of an indy mechanic shop.

I was running the rear at 42 and the front at 38. I'm thinking that my yukon trip must have really kicked the **** outta that cobra, temps were in the 90's up there on not so great pavement, and the stuff that was good was chip sealed.
