Tire'd comments.

The Tire Rack gets my vote as awesome!  I shopped around for some Dunlop 
D60 M2's 195/60/R14 (a very very good handling tire for you 4k owners out 
there).  The best I could do was $95 each, mounted and balanced.  Called 
Tire Rack - $56 each + $2 each S&H = $58 each.  Had 'em mounted and 
bubble balanced at Doc Lowe's Garage (very local) for another $3 each. So 
new, really nice performance (for a 60 series) tires - $61 each.  One of 
the guys that I had gotten a price from here in Auburn actually asked me 
for Tire Rack's number because their price was more than $15 cheaper than 
he could get 'em for!  This isn't true for all tires, but if you shop 
around.....

I've got BF Goodrich Radial T/A's on my car now (thanks Dad!) from Sam's 
Wholesale Club a few months back.  They have a soft sidewall and hard 
tread compound - a huge downer after the Dunlop's.  But with a 440 
treadwear, they should last a lot longer than the 10k or so on the 
Dunlop's.  And the T/A's are quiet and predictable - a good traveling 
tire.  

Way over my budget ($.02).
