I wonder if the prices will change much next year with the US plant closing?
That's anyone's guess. As I understand it, the RS4 wasn't made at the NY plant. All of the RS4s I've owned were manufactured in Japan

The ones on our bikes were made in Japan.
I don't remember where the RS3s we had in the past were made.

I probably wont need new tires until the end of next year. My current front has 1500-miles of wear and the rear is at 5500-miles of wear. I ride a bit more than 6K per year.
The current price is good, but do I really gain anything by holding tires for a year before mounting?

Just glad I replaced my tires this fall. Shouldn't need to do that again until next fall or the following spring.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.
Be stubborn with your dream but flexible with your path

I understand, but it's nice to pick-up tires when the price is lower.
