yes sir, I used to sell tires and the BFG euro's were complete crap.
I've really only seen the yokes a520, the shit euros, and the
nitto nt-450s in the 40 series.  The yokes suck too, and the nittos
have a tendancy to wander alot (i'm running them now in 195-50-15).

turns out, the abts are actually 35mm.  So i guess it works out....

I saw that tire rack has the P-zeros at $140ea.  It's a lot cheaper than
the pilots and sp9000s.  
I don't get a whole lot of wet weather here, so dry traction is most 
important.
