There is a locked in price on the tire for the first year but then there is always small print that allows a 3-5% increase per year due to raw material costs and before you know it in 5 years the tires are $220-$230 a piece. I know the majority of the ASCS tire distributors are well above $200 now going to be intersting to see if you see some of those guys come shopping in Indy to pick up tires when they are in the area if they are cheaper for the USAC teams. The ASCS tire is different then the 410 winged tires.
