This is always a good subject, and one where the older archived posting may
not be much help.

I put a set of Kuhmo 165/80R15 tires on my car about 5 years ago, and i
think I paid just under $50 per tire.  There were perhaps half a dozen
similarly priced tires in this size.  Now it seems choices for 165/80R15
are becoming scarce, too.
