I find it hard to beleive that a mould costs that much to make. And yes, the mould would need refurbishing/replacing occaisionaly, but I realy find it hard to justify the high cost, but it is like everything, we need it, they set their price, and until someone undercuts them with an equivalent tyre, they ain't going to budge.
More so, they don't do any developement work these days in tyres, I remember Bibx and stuff.
