I bought the same tires from my local Sears Auto store about two years
ago. They had a Michelin sale hyped as "...all sizes..." Anyway, they
had to order mine from Coker. Had them in six days, paid no shipping
cost, and got them at a pretty good sale price too. They didn't say
that they had to be in stock so they honored their advertisement. It
might pay to watch your Sears circulars for other such deals!!!

I just got a set of 175 R15 ZX from Coker last spring. They told me it
might take 3-6 months. Got them in 2. They were around $75 each.
"Cokey" Coker (The owner of Coker Tires) was Meguiar's "Man of the year
for 2004. He was honored by a presentation held at the Kodak theater in
Hollywood this summer. During his acceptance speach he was speaking
about the "Next Generation of Car Crazy people". In this portion of
his speech he stated that he just gave his daughter a "Bugeye Sprite"
for her first car... Here is a man who knows tires and cars!!
I spoke to him after the awards and he said she is as "Car Crazy" as he
is.
I asked for her address and sent her a membership in the Austin-Healey
Club USA as a present from one "Car Crazy" person to another.

PS I have purchased tire for my
Healey, Nash-Healey Sprite and big Austin Healeys from Coker Tire and
have been happy with all of them.
