I doubt if anyone will pay $600 in the ebay auction. It will probably go for 
much less than that. That said, those are REAL Michelins, whereas the Coker 
tires are reproductions. I have no idea whether Coker is capable of making 
tires to the same specs and of the same quality as original Michelins.

I know I would pay more for originals, but I'd never pay $124 for 
reproductions, either. For the record, these tires used to sell for about $65 
from Michelin.
