[T3] Tires

[John Jaranson]

Keith,

Discount Tire has the Powerstar 758 in the 165/80R15 size available local to me for $82.00 each.  Here is a link to the website. I suspect they ship nationwide.

Couldn't have looked too hard.  Simply typing Powerstar 758 into Google found these in 1 minute. <G>
