Personally, I would just like to see what retail is on 120/180 sets of DOT Race tires from vendors. At my level all these tires will perform well enough for me, so price will be more of a deciding factor.
I agree as I am in the same boat, and for me not only price but service and support for me not being one of the fastest. I also know different tires, bikes, etc work different for different racers. Me using the same equipment as the fastest racers is not going to make me one of them. I might be going out on a limb here, but I bet more money is made is spent by those out of the top 5 than those in.
