(I think these big guys have special deals with UPS). They also have 195/75 and load range D's. If you can put together a list purchase under that I would be interested. Even better, if you can get a good deal on the Y371 (similar light truck tire, but with an all weather thread) I'm sure many listees would be interested. /Martin -- Martin Jagersand email: jag@cs.rochester.edu Computer Science Department jag@cs.chalmers.se University of Rochester Slow down and visit the VW diesel Westy page: WWW: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/jag/vw ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
