Huh? Four new SVX sized tires for a hundred bucks? I'll take a dozen.
Go for it. Oh... I suggest these tires are hot. REAL hot! Ron.

I would suggest that if the police people show up & ask you, "Do you know this guy"? You answer "Moi?" Non, mon ami". Expect to pay a "real" tire dealer at least $100 per tire plus install & goodies. Ron.

Alternative to those cheap tires are the Yokohama AVS Intermediates. Tire Rack has em on sale for $59/each in 225-50-16. I'm gonna snatch up a set for the SVX as soon as I get it.
Any comments on the AVS Intermediates on the SVX? -mike

Have him mount them and balance them in front of you - they may have a belt shift or other defect in them that renders them unbalanceable. If they check out - go for it!

Pete,
Toyo Proxes is a brand name covering many different types of tires. Similarly, there are many types & prices of tires under the name of Bridgestone Potenza. I bought 4 Toya Proxes T1-S tires mounted & balanced for my SVX. They cost $736-. The T1-S tire is the top of the line performance street tire for Toyo Proxes.
