Thanks for all the tire replies - tirerack.com is agreed to be good but they
don't have the Hankook RA08s.  Tire-easy.com, which has them, quite cheap
($56), and 3-5 day delivery.  But no one has heard of them, which isn't so
good.

However I found a place that can order locally, will have the one tire I
need (my spare is new) in time and will also mount and align my tires, so
that's what I'm doing.

Which means I should actually be able to go to John Brown's Buses in my van
instead of my Prius!  :-)
