    Who did you call Longitudinal? That sounds about right for Iron Pony but they do such a good job I'm more than willing to drive out from Miamisburg every time I need new tires.

      Just had a couple tires mounted, $20 each but it's a 30 minute drive. Another place did for $25 closer but I bought a tube for $20 from them so maybe a discount. Yeah I think anything over $25 is too steep. I do mount my own sometimes but the ones with tubes are a pain. I need to get better tire irons too, I have these huge Harbor Freight car tire ones, way too big for the job.

        Yes, PR4's were the last 2 sets on my 2008. Very pleased with them.
