12" tires

Not sure where to post this, but with the difficulty involved in finding tires for 12" rims I thought this sounded good.

I got a set of Husky 12" tires from my Local Big O tire store for 286.10 out the door. They started at like $51 a piece, the guy knocked them down to 40 each. I then bought the warranty for another $8.50 which gets me a new tire if it's gets a non repairable flat. considering I had to replace them now instead of a couple of months from now like I planned cause of a non repairable flat, it seemed good to me.. I'll post the specifics about them later. (the invoice is in the car.) but they are 155/80R12.

I bet those 12" tires are really hard to find. In the last couple years it has even got hard to find some of the old 13" sizes. I was recently looking for some 185-80-13's and only found one or two places that still had them.
