>I need to replace the tires on my 85 Westy. I got a quote from Merchants >tire here in Springfield VA of $76.95 per tire (includes mount, balance, >stems, disposal) + tax. The tire is a 205/70R14, Perrelli P-400, load rang B >(1433lbs capacity) with an 80,000 tread warantee. > >Is this a good deal or should I keep shopping?

BTW, I have a '71 mercedes 220! tk
