Default Public service annc: Cheap SP8000E's available in DC area

I ruptured a tire in one of DC's charming foot-deep potholes yesterday and went hunting for a replacement this morning.

I found a place called Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD, that had a set of 4 SP8000E's off a brand new A4 for sale at $85.00 a pop. Allegedly the A4 purchaser insisted that the dealer provide all-season tires instead, and the dealer swapped the sport tires at the tire shop for some Michelins.

Radial Tire also had some new SP8000E's in stock at $167.00 per tire.

I took 1 of the slightly used ones; there are now 3 left.

Default I live in MD, but the price...

...seems a little high for the new ones. Hell, it's almost double of the TireRack deal (at $85). Even including shipping and mounting charges, I think you'd be far better off going at TireRack, at least for buying 4 tires.
