[T3] Tires

[Keith Park]

Well I followed their links to discount tire direct, which will ship as
discount tire wont.  Link didn't work. I think I remember trying this in
June and they were out of stock.  Let me look into this further tomorrow.

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>
