Oh,the "good times" are already rolling.  I called up the "all brands"
tire place to get two tires for the 200TQA, wanted them to match all
around (PO had put two Pirelli's in front and two Firestone on back.) 
Did a triple take when I was quoted $95 for both Firestone tires,
balanced and mounted (I already had them off the car), and they'd eat the
$4 disposal fee for the old ones.

For those who will start citing performance, treadwear etc. this is for
the Wagon, usually the wifes car, I prefer something that can bounce off
curbs unharmed.  I drove it 4K miles in one week with these tires, most
of that in the upper speed range, and they held their own.  

Now if only there were someway to link 16inch A8-fitonmyV8Q wheels to
unintended acceleration or something..........
