Default Is this inflation or what?.... tire prices

Damn, I paid $83 for each of my 315/35/17 Goodyear F1-GS-D3s back in 2003 and now at tirerack they're $277 a pop plus shipping - more than 330% increase.

$83??? Damn... that's way less than I would have expected to pay for them, even 3 years ago. GS-D3s are one of the more expensive performance tires, and I've never seen them for less than $200 a tire in any of the sizes that we use.

I'm sure it wouldn't have anything to do with them all being on National Back order The more popular they get, the higher the price goes.

$83 is a CRAZY price for those! Another good thing about Nittos is that they are moderately priced, like $160 for a 315/35R17 or something.
