Nice. If i hadn't already put new tires on that would be very tempting. I know some people give the 208 a hard time, but i think they're a decent tire...and definately worth that price.

i don't even think those tires are manufactured anymore? the sellers are just tryin to get rid of the old stock of tires they still have left. pirelli diablos seem to be a consensus choice among those that ride quickly (in the corners) and commute some. i'm gettin em as soon as i need a new set of donuts

just because they dont make the tire anymore does not mean you shouldnt buy them at a cheap price. personally, it seems that Ray wants an "ok" tires at a cheap price.if i needed a new set i would get the same exact thing since it is a good deal.
I think they stopped making 208 since Qualifiers are more popular and preferred on the track.

many peeps have had issues with this tire...i personally have not....maybe i ride too slow.
i loved the tire...went through many sets of it before getting hooked on diablo.
my only gripe was that it took longer than other tires to warm up and the way the tread is cut...it follows grooves easily...also, when the front tire always cups when it gets old. other than this...the tire was pretty good for me.

Everyone else went with Diablo's too, huh? That's good to know as it's what i just used to replace my 208s. Nothin wrong with the Dunlops...but the Diablos are the shiznit.

i just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Powers on my brother's bike and if you like sticky tires that grip and hug the road these are the perfect tire. i ride around with his bike sometimes and it handles really well especially on turns...
