I know everybody needs to make some $$$ but $1,995.
Whatever tire you decide to buy make sure you check the date code to make sure it was manufactured within the last 6-12 months. Tires older than that are NOT safe no matter what the sales rep tells you. If you don't know about old tires sold as safe and new and don't know how to read date codes which most always are on inside of tire making it hard to read once mounted, go to this site
