Which is why I'm riding on these...

Just under $800 for set of four (F&B). The SA-57 looks to be a copy of the
Bridgestone Potenza G3. Great performing tyre but a little noisy on smooth pavement.

Is that because of taxes, shipping or both?

Taxes? Not so much...

Shipping...? Maybe a little...

Size of market? This!!

The USA is such a massive consumer market with so much competition that prices are driven way down. Just market forces at play.
