Subject:    Re: Review of Agilis 51 205/65-15

Bought my Agilis 215/65-15's at Canadian Tire here in Toronto
Canada. In Canadian dollars they were 171.12 or 196.79 with
tax each plus instalation / mounting / balancing (That is
roughly $114 .08 / $131.19 American with an exchange rate of
1.5). If anyone REALLY wants some and can't get them in the
US contact me.

Thanks,
Chris
