Subject:Re: 14" tires, report...

Discount Tire in Spokane, WA would not order the tire for me, stating that
Discount does not have a "relationship" with Vredestein.

Les Schwab in Airway Heights (suburb of Spokane, WA) has ordered the tire
for me.  It is supposed to be here tomorrow.  Their price of $103 per tire
includes road hazard warranty, treadwear warranty.  They charge $13.99 for
mounting, lifetime balance and lifetime rotation.

When I actually get the tires, mounted and balanced, I'll report back.

When I tried Tires-Easy last week, they reported the tire out of stock, and
an inquiry only got a reply of no estimated date expected for restocking.
