I have the same set on my bike now. You can get the front and rear from bikebandit for like $160.00 shipped. They warm up quick and are fairly sticky. I am happy with them, and you can't beat the price. I haven't heard anything negative about them. A few other guys on here have them too if they want to chime in with there opinions.

I heard they were made by either Yokohama or Toyo, who make really good car tires.
