Try tires-easy.com . They're usually a little cheaper than Tire Rack. They list a Kumho in 145/80 and the Yoko A008 in 165/70.

Don't know about those Dunlops Gary mentioned.

I havent gotten to the speed rating on the tires, but like you said who would be crazy enough to go above 60?? the car is lower than my motorcycle, Im going to put safety flags on it!! especially here in Minnesota, I havent found the tires less than 46.00 a tire, those are the kumho, the Dunlops thru Coker tires are really expensive, I think they feel Im desperate for them!...they want 159.00 per tire

Hi Gang,
I put new tires on my Sedan a few weeks ago. I bought the Kumho 145/80-10. They are t rated. They drive real nice. I got them for under $30 each and had them FedEx'ed to me. The shipping charge was reasonable as well. I ordered them through www.tirerack.com . With shipping, tax, and all it was a little over $200 for 5 tires.

Hey Kev,
When you are ready we can install the tires at my house. I have a
tire machine from Harbor Freight and air tools etc. Just make an
appointment with my secretary.
