Coker Tire at http://store.coker.com/
Discount Tire Direct at http://www.discounttiredirect.com

Not sure if they will have the exact tire you're looking.

All the Pep Boys by me have stopped carring the Metric radial. I had to buy the M/T Sportsman at $90 per, they are not that bad, but still more than the old Metrics.

yea yea, i know its 165r15... just a matter of tracking two of them down... kinda hurts now.... i work 8-6 from mon thru fru... and most tire places are closed by 6 or at 6... i have a buddy that works at a tire place, ill talk to him n see if he can get me a deal... then again, my work may be able to order them... i was just hoping to find somewhere online to order them, just to make it a little easier on me... ill try the link above... if anyone else has any input, let me know


thanks
