[DML] Re: Tires

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

How to get tires depends on how willing your tire places are to help
you by calling around their suppliers and etc. The tire places here
had the sizes but wanted an outrageous amount for them-so I got on the
computer, spent a few minutes searching Ebay and came up with matched
tires for a great price and free shipping. Nonetheless, just keep in
mind it will be much harder to find the tires as well as much more
expensive these days (Goodyear increased prices up 15% in 4 months),
since it takes oil to make the rubber for the tire, and oil (as we all
know) is expensive. Or companies switched to natural rubber which is
also expensive. I've heard of a few tire companies discontinuing a few
tire sizes because of this...-----Dani B. #5003
