RE: Rally tire/Winter tire question

["Crane, Damien" <d3c@TENNANTCO.com>]

Guys, 

Let me know what you get for prices.  I haven't bought any Hakkas for a long
time but there used to be a guy in WI (G & G Service) or something like that
that had 'em for $20 - $30 per tire cheaper than anywhere else.  I can try
to find him again if you want.
