Richard:

List is $900.00 ($946.00) not selling.  I can get you a single 8000E tire for 
$497.50 ea from my local backwoods gouge-you-in-the-eye OK Tire Dealer in 
Simcoe.  I got a price on a set for friend just prior to Christmas but he 
claimed sanity and opted for a set of Toyo's.  I bet you can get the same or 
better (pricing) in Toronto since we typically pay a 15-20% premium for the 
luxury of living nowhere.

Personally, even at $497.50 ea I'd be selling those 3 tires and buy a set of 
something else new.

But if you're hung-up on having OE rubber, call:

2nd Time Around Tire Sales (on Keele and I think Progress Ave),
Check the listings at http://www.tirestyres.com and post your request,
Call the other 3-4 dozen or so used tire shops located between Hamilton - 
Oshawa, or
Borrow one for an extended period from some other unsuspecting A4 owner.
