Mark...another discussed issue that Discount Tire or Tire Rack, or whatever
Canadian Tire equivalnet would have given you the price to to get it cheaper
if u ordered from them and stated that you found the install to
expensive..  This conversation was also in the past posts. I know bcuz I
have the same RA08s on my van . Good choice, BTW
Sorry...kinda in a bad mood.
