I could be wrong but for the last couple of years these seemed unavailable, so I'm calling Tire Rack, as it's time to finally make a decision on the '78 (I'm leaning toward Michelin 195/75R14 LTX M+S, a real nice moderately aggresive tread) and the guy mentions that their current price leader is again the reinforced Continetal. Now don't hold me to it but I think he said $49 EACH!!! But maybe he did say $59, anyway better than the reinforced XZX at $67, or the old budget leader the Yoko Y356 which was about $60 (admittedly in 8 ply but I don't like the tread design). Of course these darn 7.00 x 14 bias ply C rated Kelleys are still calling me to Sams for $44 each, with an evil mudslinging tread design and lots of tread. Measured them to be about 26" unmounted in diameter which seems to make them perfect. Oh the decision the decisions. John ja@coe.wvu.edu
