I paid $88 plus $12.50 per tire for shipping.  Tire Rack will charge around
$7 per tire for shipping and $102 per tire, for comparison.  Michelin
doesn't import the 215/65-15 into the US, so they didn't have it.

51's from the following link:

beat Tire Rack by about $35.  Their shipping prices are more than Tire Rack,
though, so if the tire sale is over, they may not be cheapest.  But bottom
line is they got me the tires.  They were friendly enough, too - they are
connected to Homann Tire stores in Texas.
