BSCC- Do you need new tires on your Corvair?

[bomma at comcast.net]

Hi Everyone ! 



I just stopped in at my local Town Fair Tire Store here in Milford to question an ad I saw for 185X80-R13, 5/8" WW Tires on sale at $25.00 per tire.  (This is a limited time offer so call now if you're interested.  This price should be good at all Town Fair Tire locations.) 



I asked Shaun Griffin, the store Mgr, who the manufacturer was.  He looked it up and they are Hankook Tires.  These are the same tires that retail usually at $59.00 each.  I have a standing agreement with Shaun that if anyone from our club comes in, mentions Bay State Corvair Club and he'd give them a $10.00 discount.  Even he was surprised at the price but said that 13" WW tires are a slow seller and they show only 25 on hand in their warehouse so they are clearing them out at $25. apiece.  There is a catch here.   This is not a Cash & Carry price so you'd have to add on for State & Federal Taxes, 4 new valve stems, Computer balancing, mounting and plus the disposal fee for your old tires.  The final price would be $174.84 complete ; still not bad for a new set of premium radial WW tires and for handling and safety sake, you'll have the peace of mind you only get from a new set of tires. 



Do yourself a favor; at that price, nows the time to replace those old dry rotted bias ply tires you've been nursing along. 


I hope to see a good crowd at next Wednesday's Monthly Meeting at The Tavern , 7:00 PM. 



Best regards,  Ray 'B'
