Normal price for these were about $90.
GP's averaged $65-80.

Cost will be $85 (to the lower 48)

Re: Dry Rot ... how serious is it? ----
The first thing you should do is look at the tire code and get the actual date the tires were made. Could be you have 8-9 year old tires that were sold to you 4 years ago.
