This TireRack is an interesting idea. They recommend best sellers for your 
vehicle and they can ship directly to Fussell tires in Apex (which will 
charge 
about $10 to install)

hummmm... I may save about 60 bucks even with shipping and installation, and 
maybe not have to pay taxes!

I'll take a look at it tonight with more time, but it does sound like a good 
idea.

Thanks, and thanks Lyman for the local recommendation too.
