I get email notifications for there frequent sales but they are just a 10% discount (~$100 saving). This is the first since last spring for this 4 for the price of 3 deal, an ~$250 saving.
For us Canucks paying an additional ~37% exchange rate this huge.

For anyone who finds this thread in the future, regarding RE71RS and A052. The wet performance of the RE71RS is considerably worse than A052 so if you plan to track in the wet, you may want to have a different set of tires for the wet.

IME this is only true in the cold. When it's warmer out the RE71RS is just as good.

Have not run the RE71RS in warm/wet conditions, but for me up in New England, sometimes running in Canada, it's no contest which to run if it might get wet early or late in the season... |

It's really quite surprising how well the Yoks do in the cold/wet conditions. Really in a class of their own in those conditions. That of course turns against you in the hot and dry when they overheat quickly.
