<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi Ray,....Thank's for the tire info.
Toyo's are a well established brand ,made in Japan,brand.However,many of
Toyo's tire's are made in China,and marked,Made in China.I do not know
if China has the same quality control.Hopefully so.I was in Walmart and
checked out there tire selection.I found that on sale was B.F.Goodrich
185X80R13's,selling at $25.00 each !!!,a unheard of price.I was about to
purchase a set,to keep for future use.However ,the Toyo's on my Vair are still
like new,and decided against rat packin.A unforgetful event was at the Red
Roof Inn,when one of the club member's pulled in,explaining that he blew a
tire on the way over,for the Clark's show.I examined the tire,and it was a dry
rotted Goodyear Arriva.I recognized the brand name,and was used by
Chrysler product's,being the Plymouth Horizon,from the late 70's,and early
80's.The Vair made it,however the tire didn't. Pete </FONT></DIV>

Do you need to replace those really old or worn out
tires on your Corvair or d</FONT><FONT face=Arial>o you want to upgrade to
safer radial tires from the original 'old style' bias ply tires? I
have a new branch of <STRONG><EM>Town Fair Tires</EM></STRONG> opening here
in Milford just off Exit 19 on I-495, 1/2 mile west on Route
109. They are new <STRONG>Hancock Tires</STRONG>, (a subsidiary
of well regarded Toyo Tires, (of which I had a set on my last Caddy that
<EM>wore like iron).</EM> They're 185X80R13's with a 3/4" White Wall.
When I explained to the 'new' store's manager, Shaun Griffin, that I was the
Club's President and that we currently had 108 members with probably 130
Corvairs he was more than willing to trim the price of the tires. He
showed me where they retail for $59.00 but said if you come in and ask for
him and mention that you belong to the <STRONG><EM>Bay State Corvair
Club,</EM></STRONG> he'll knock <EM>$10.00 a piece</EM> off<STRONG>
</STRONG>the price. He reminded me just how scarce these tires
are becoming. Not just the white walls but that tire size as
well. It's good to know there are a couple of outlets like this
<STRONG>Town Fair Tire</STRONG> branch and <STRONG>Bill's Tire Barn</STRONG>
on route 106 in West Bridgewater where we can get these tires at a good
price. Clark's does sell tires with a narrow WW at $69.00 each (plus
S&H). </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<FONT size=3> If the Milford, MA outlet sounds good
to you, then call the that new branch of Town Fair Tires at (508) 422-9223
and ask to speak <EM><U>directly</U> </EM>to Shaun Griffin, the
manager, to order the tires in as they <STRONG><EM>do not</EM></STRONG>
keep them in stock<EM>.</EM> Shaun will then adjust the price down to
$49.00 for you. I believe he said he can have them available in 24
hours. With new tires on your Corvair you'll have peace of mind; then
you can really <EM>'enjoy the ride'. <STRONG>Ray
