I dunno what the big fuss is about. Of course STG is a great company which I support frequently, but $320 isnt THAT great for 120/180, especially with this 'sale'.

You can find them for $300 shipped at other places. Not to be the dick that suggests another place or anything haha.

I got mine at Motorcycle-Superstore for $276. Not bad but good enough. Plus I love shopping with them.

I also had a 15% coupon and the rep gave me free shipping since they sent me a wrong item on the order before that.

It annoyed me that the email I got from them made it sound like some huge sale on the Michelin tires. When I checked it out, I realized that it's the same price they've been charging for +/- 8 months now.

michelin tire sale is a oxymoron. LOL
michelin's prices are way over inflated. they think their tires are made of gold or something

in my opinion if you pay more than $240 for a set of pilot power 2ct's you're getting burned. because they aren't that great. and they usually go for over $275 a set.

there are so many other tires out now that are better, last longer, and cost a lot less. the bridgestone bt-016 is on par or slightly better than the 2ct and can be had for $240 shipped. if you want a tire like the michelin power one 2ct(street legal race tire basically) which go for about $400 a set. Instead you can get bridgestone bt-003rs for $275 a set shipped.

why anyone would buy a michelin tire these days is beyond my understanding. why pay for a ferrari and get a corvette?

$260 shipped is a decent price for 2CT's IMO, especially from a reputable place such as STG

Yeah, but you only list racing and high-performance tires. There is no other tire that I've read about that offers the longevity but performance of the Pilot Road 2ct.
