Why are Razr tires so expensive?

[Guest]

I noticed that ITPs top tires are $80-90 and are US made and the best Razrs cost about the same and are made in Taiwan. I thought the whole point of selling out your fellow americans and supporting child labor, communism, and environmental destruction was to save a couple of bucks. No taiwan tire should cost over $60. Theyre either making a fortune or suporting alot of racers. Im not saying they arent great tires, just overpriced considering their production costs.

Why are they so expensive? Because they're a damn good tire. In reality you can have six ply Razrs for $55 per tire, which I think is cheaper than any Holeshot you'll get in a six ply. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one. They also have to ship them here, which when done in bulk is relatively cheap per tire, but still adds to cost. Then there's marketing, which needs to be paid for somehow. I'm not saying anything about child labor because it's definately wrong. And I understand they're physically producing a single tire for not much money. But when you add everything together, you're getting a good product for the money.

In my opinion they both suck haha. I like kenda tires myself.

ITP's are way overpriced and plain old holeshots suck balls.

I ran my klaws for 3 years with no plugs and the tread is at least 60% still, the only reason i took them off is becuase i wanted 20's. The bandits i have on there now get about the same amount of bite and wear about the same also, but those damn things are expensive new... i paid 25 for both with about 60% tread.
