Subject:Re: need tires for 90 westy
From:mdrillock

He is asking $12k for a partial Westy with bald tires.
It is a little inconsistent to say "restored to pristine, immaculate
condition" with cord showing in the tires.
Does anyone have a suggestion for where he can get reasonable tires
quickly? Is anyone using these tires?

A little cheaper at this place.  http://www.tires-easy.com/
