I don't dispute your point, but I do dispute your numbers. We sell the
Goodyear for $55. Do they actually charge that much for the Goodyear
locally? 

Also, in the tire business, you don't say $XX per "pop". "Popping" isn't
good in a tire. In autox though, it means "To come off a corner at a 45 deg
angle with your foot to the floor leaving double black tracks halfway to the
next turn."
