Yeah. I got my Hankooks at Discount, too. My brother-in-law is a store manager, so I only rarely look at the prices.

The guy quoted me $120 each. So I checked |around and finally decided to go with a set of the Hankook tires that |Bus Depot sells, which were $75 plus $20 shipping each. When I took |them into the Discount Tire for mounting and balancing, the guy told |me I could have gotten them from him for $70 and no shipping. Tax |would have been $6.30 per tire. | |I like giving Bus Depot business, and I basically broke even on the |actual cost per tire. But I gave $80 to Fedex ground that I wish I |hadn't. | |Mark |'82 Westy |
