that's crazy. I guess that's the price you pay for some good tread though. Wonder what potenza's would have run you...... ouch.

I am so reluctant to buy tires for that specific reason. I had 15s on my Escort and it cost nearly 500.00 for good tires...but baby needs a new pair of shoes...

Well, I have 71 positive feedbacks on ebay from my used tire sales and all of them are posotive, that means each and every customer that I sold tires too, was very pleased with their purchase. Anyhow, I actually have a pair of Goodyears and a pair of Yokohama's. You can check out my feedback and tires by clicking the following link..... http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=proturng73camaro&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 ...... just check me out, then make your decision, you will be saving quite a bit of money.

Bfg's look better, I have those on my 70' big block Nova. My pops has them on his 72' Gmc sprint (pretty much an El camino). Also, shipping is $29 per pair to the bordering states of Nevada, $39 to the mid U>S>A, and $49 to the eastern U.s.a.
