<html><body><div>My brother buys tires for our race car on tire rack and another online website for $100 each. Yesterday on a lark he looked on eBay. The same online website was also selling the same tire on eBay for $100, but when you buy a set of four, they included a $100 off coupon.</div><div class="x-apple-signature"><pre style="font-family: 'SFNSText','Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'SFNSText','Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rye</span><div style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">PH: 530-FIND-RYE</div><div style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Activities Chairman</div><div style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club</div><div style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">1960 Triumph TR3A</div></div></pre></div><div><br>On Oct 23, 2016, at 04:47 AM, Randall <TR3driver@ca.rr.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="Section1"><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;">FWIW TireRack has 165/80</span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/mn5ka4c" rel="noreferrer" data-mce-href="http://tinyurl.com/mn5ka4c">http://tinyurl.com/mn5ka4c</a></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></b></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: bold;">Bit pricey, but they also list 185/70 that should fit and work fine, in a "high performance summer" tire.

You do have to watch out for S&H charges plus mounting and balancing. The charges are not unreasonable, they just make the overall price higher than what you see on the web.</span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Best IMO to have the tires shipped directly to a local installer.</span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;">PS, I assume this is obvious, but JIC: Don't forget that these tires aren't going to fit in the spare tire well! I finally bought a "compact spare" tire from a junkyard that fits with room to spare (on a TR3 rim); but if I do have a flat, it has to ride home behind the seats.</span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span size="2" face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10.0pt;">-- Randall </span></span></p></div><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content"><br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/forums">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com</a><br></span></div><style class="existing-message-styles" type="text/css">.msg-quote p.msonormal, li.msonormal, div.msonormal {margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';}
