Those are not bad tires, we got 60K out of them. The tires would have lasted longer if I'd had the front end aligned before hand.  :-[

that makes 362.50 each out the door.

"Siped?" For self centering?

Siped or grooved? Sipes are very slim cuts that add more edges to the tire to create grip and are used when you want to create heat as the rubber will rub against itself. Grooves create more edges but allow some ability to vent some of the heat at well as dig through stuff like water mud or snow
