Re: which tires?

["Dan Hirth" <dhirth@rro.ehnr.state.nc.us>]

How much do the XZX tires run?  I can't find anybody locally that can 
order them (or is willing or knows how to get them).  All I can find 
are cheap tires:
Larimie w/ a 320 tread rating - $267 for 4, installed, balanced, etc. 
NTW at $261 for 4. installed, balanced, et c.

Just curious if anyone's bought the Michellins...
