For what it's worth, tirerack.com is a great, inexpensive source for tires and
tire information. i.e. you can plug in the tire size you desire and it will give
you a listing of all tires available in that size.  Also, pics and descriptions
available for all tires.  I've had good luck with them, even returned some tires
that I thought just sucked (sloppy handling) for full credit.  And, no, I don't
have stock in the company :-), just a good source I want to pass along.  A local
shop near me mounts and balances tires for $10 apiece
