The margins on tires, like most bicycle accessories are "Keystone" https://www.thebalancesmb.com/keystone-pricing-in-retail-2890192# (or greater). So when you see a 25% off sale on tires, the retailer is still making good margins, and I don't begrudge them those margins since the margins on complete bicycles are not good, yet require a lot of labor for assembly. Performance used to sell their own brand of tires at good prices, some of their tires were okay, some were not so good. Somewhere I heard that Michelin was sold off to the Chinese. I finally managed to get another set of Pro4's which will go on the bike I wear the next set of tires out on. Michelin is a publicly traded entity registered in France. For about 94 Euros you could own a share yourself! If you don't have 94 Euros to spare, you could, like my savvy 16 year old grandson, trade in fractional shares on your telephone without leaving the house. Crap. On whose account? He's not old enough to contract. -- Jay Beattie.
