<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
