    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    OK, there's a Taqueria down the street. Should be a tire shop next door.

    Got them mounted today at a little shop. They mounted low profile directional tires, lined up the dots, installed valve stems and spin balance with sticky weights for $12.00 each and didn't even mark the wheels. In and out in 20 minutes. You guys are right, I don't think I will ever buy tires at a "tire store" again. I got these from Edge Racing, had to pay shipping but no sales tax, fet, tire disposal fee or any other BS.

    I must live right. So far no problems with the local D T of T. I think a lot of it has to do with who's running the store. The ass't mgr. at the Waxahachie, TX store is both a biker and a hot rod freak. Greg spent hours on the web with me before I finally settled on new rims for the NC. Then he beat the best price I found on the web by $5.00 a wheel. No freight cgs. N/c for mounting either. $7.00 per wheel for balance. Can't ask for better. Now the DT-T in Mansfield ?!? Don't ask ............... (where's the smilie for vomit ? )

    Martha Stewart says those old tires make great weights for old cedar trees, and the crappie'll love the new digs.

    Why would anybody ever pay a tire disposal fee when you can use them for so many things?
