Awesome deal! I'd jump on it. I had 208's last year and they were a really good tire.

That's a great deal. I just got a set myself and I'm quite happy with them.

They will wear faster than your old tires though.

I was told that I could expect no more than 7k kms (5k miles) out of them under normal riding conditions like you've described.I put 10k km on the stock 207's.But honestly I dont know, that's just what they told me. I've done one track day with them and have since put on about 700 to 1k kms and they are holding up well. I think for the price you can't go wrong. I'm glad I bought mine.

I heard alot of people didn't like the 207's, but the 208's are supposed to be better.

That is true. The 207's where like hockey pucks by comparison. My confidence level when up with the 208's.
