im guessing here, but i presume they are so efficient for mpg that car companies will spend extra hundreds on each car just to have a point higher mgp on their adds
The price Tirerack charges and the price the manufacturers pay are not even remotely close. Small volume retail vs massive quantities contract prices. Call up the supplier and say you want a million or so tires a year and see what the cost will be.
