thats about right price for 2 racing slick tires, plus they are one of the biggest sellers for FWD street cars who run high hp and want slicks
16k mile is very high for those wheels. I couldn't get 15k miles out tires with twice the tread rating (stiffness) of those, but I drive like a bat out of hell always.

I actually realized what tires those were, the ebay auction calls them drag redials so I didnt realize it, they're pretty good. If you want a bit better bang for the buck I still recommend the azenis, though not nearly as fast...but you can safly drive those everyday but it gets expensive. They're about $85ea in that size.

Also I hope your not using a 8" wide wheel for 205mm tires cuz thats way overdone, esp just for drag racing wheels I dont think the width is all that import. I'm not a drag racing but I'd think you'd want the wheel/tire to be square with each other so you can run as little psi without the tires falling off
