Nope  :-) .  When I ordered them I specified V rated and asked for their best
deal. They said they were overstocked on them and wanted 78 +6 for S+H
I couldn't pass it up.  You can talk to Sonny, ex 362.

I was considering them but the only deal I could get on them was for H rated
at $325 for 4 (same size, installed price, from WALMART can you believe)
