      Also forgot to mention that they use Nitrogen to fill tires, which is a growing trend. Not sure f there's anything to it, but claims are that it maintains pressure better in different temperatures and climates and somehow improves the life of teh tire from the inside out.

        I think it may reduce weight as well, but I could be wrong.

          I wonder what happens when a nitrogen-filled tire gets low and you fill it up with plain ol' o2.

            You can use Helium for even lighter tires!

                If you want a better deal Anand at My Tires will probably help you if you mention NewVeeDub....

                  Yeah, no thanks. I found him very unresponsive when I was looking to buy my tires (no pun intended). He never even called me back with a price after I talked to him on the phone.

                    He's a good guy, really, but is a one man operation, I wouldn't take offense.

                    Also: I just called him, $25 a tire (I assumed the tape on weights which are more).

                    Edit: and I didn't say "newveedub" I was "regular Joe"

                      Yeah he doesn't call people back.

                      He is just basically running it as a 1-man show, its kinda an amateur outfit, but he is nonetheless cheap.

                          If you can take the time to tell me to call, you can easily post "it was $97.14" instead of sassing me.
