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.

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