Marsdendean Prices are stupid IMO.
For the same size wheels but not as wide, i have to pay around £20 more
That's business unfortunately, nothing to do with manufacturing costs, it's all about demand and the IS tyre size clearly isn't in as much demand as the evo ones......

30-12-2016, 04:57 AM #12Tyre price is one reason we sold the Boxter - £250 each on the back and £230 each on the front the backs wear out on 6 to 10K so every year you need to replace them.........

Did the rears on the boxster just go so quick from wheelspinning or was it uneven wear? Only reason I ask is that we had to replace the rears on our Merc after about 12-13k because the middle of the tyre was worn completely. Wondered if it was an overinflation issue but Tony said it's not unusual for very wide tyres to wear like that (the rears are 9.5")

Very fast Evos use Porsche rubbe - therefore fast wear.

Tonight was the first time I really grabbed the Evo by the scruff of its neck and I can't wait for the new tyres to be fitted tomorrow! The front of the car was sliding as I was experimenting with roundabout entry speeds. :o The back of the car feels like its steering which I think is the AYC/ACD??
