Hint, select quantity of 4
AKA has clearance items in there all the time. Sometimes they are per tire, per pair, per 4, with foams, without foams, etc... hence the description of 1 tire.
*edit* never mind, looks like someone else read it and beat you to it as they're out of stock now.

Yea it might seem weird sometimes but keep an eye on the AKA site, you can get good deals their once in a while. AKA tires are awesome imo and the mounted ones are even better. I've mounted hundreds of tires in my career and it's hard to do a job that matches the quality of AKA. No I'm not sponsored by them, just a happy customer!

When I go a big track for a race I look at tires not only for traction but for gearing too. The biggest track I race on has a front straight of aprox 170. So I like to gear for about 40mph. I need a little more speed on the straight but like lower gearing on the rest of the track. I've done lots of testing with different tire compounds using a small Garmin gps unit. I put on a set of hard Cityblocks and on 4s hit 40 to 41mph, med CB with same gearing 42mph and Super soft CB 44 to 45mph. So basically what I'm getting at is you can change your gearing by changing tire compounds. Think I'm bsing, try it for your self. GPS doesnt' lie.......... By the way if you're running on a small to med track this will not work as well.
