looks like my local tire guy can get the
AltiMAX RT43 to me for about $350 (out the door)
shipped, mounted, ballanced, with sales tax
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....RT43&tab=Sizes Size: 175/70R14
(Tire Rack charges $58 for shipping, and I'd still have to pay mounting/ballancing)
I'm pretty happy with the deal
they say these are better than any of the tires in (or near) this price range
only tire thats really better are the Michelins (at $40 more each)
